We Could Pretend Lyrics by Ruth Moody

The Garden

0

We could pretend that it's nothing
Hide from this sufferin'
We could do just enough
And maybe we will
We could face the other way
Wait for another day
Find new ways not to say it
Do you think we will
We could bottle it inside
Keep the lid on good and tight
But at some point in the night
It's gonna start to spill
What do we become
If we hide and if we run
Shadows on the sun
Shadows on the sun
Love's under the gun
Love's under the gun
Shadows on the sun
Shadows on everyone
Shadows on everyone
Ruth Moody © 2010
We could make ourselves immune
Play it safe and resume
Singing ourselves the same old tune
I wonder if we will
We could choose not to use our eyes
Lose ourselves in our disguise
Know but pretend otherwise
And wonder still
What do we become
If we hide and if we run
Shadows on the sun
Shadows on everyone
Shadows on everyone
We could wait and see if it'll pass
Never tell and never ask
Keep on hoping it won't last
When we know it will
We could hide in the night
Never take flight
Like a sparrow perching tight
On the window sill
We could try and deny it
Keep on trying to fight it
Hold the match and never light it
Never feel the thrill
