The Man I Keep Hid

The Man I Keep Hid - Joe Henry

Nobody knows the man

I keep hid

Nobody knows the man

That I keep hid

Raised my face like a pirate's flag

Of any Nations tattered rag

Nobody knows the man I keep hid

Somebody used my mouth

Laughed out loud

Somebody used my mouth and laughed out loud

Spoken ways that were strange to you

Whispered things even money won't do

Nobody knows the man I keep hid

Something startled you

Late last night

Something startled you

Late last night

A ghost from my dreams leaning pain

Moving you left a vapor trail

Nobody knows the man that I keep hid

You say you've changed but still you won't

I say I've changed and prove I don't

Aaa aaa aaa

Somebody made my heart

A silver spoon

Somebody made my heart

A silver spoon

It eats away at love and pride

Like hunger down a mountainside

Nobody knows the man I keep hid

Nobody knows the man I keep hid
