amy had a way
of lifting those around her
of breaking through those protective shells

amy had a way
of whispering to those around her
don't worry life is good all is well

she gave her smile away for free
with kindness and the need to be
to be the open wishing well

her disarming way
could find you feeling cozy
feeling safe and warm who could tell

amy please forgive me
for looking down too deep inside
you know that I know as well as anyone
we all have things to hide
holding them so closely
never letting them out of our sight
for fear they'll sneak up on us
and steal our souls before the light

wandering out through the trees
learning from the turning leaves
that even memories in the dark
can't break that spell

the strength to push yourself beyond
the smell of pastures in your heart
and daisies that shine their little suns
on the place you fell

i was on an unknown plane
a place i've never been before
with choices and defining moments of which
my decisions i was unsure
collapsing all around me
down to the foundations of my youth
tell me how could i maintain
tell me how could i find the truth

it's cold and cloudy today
i think i'll grasp her smile with my heart
and remember how her love could bring
such joy to me

i think that i'll just float back
to the place where love's illusions
made the world with her i lived in
sweet harmony

amy please forgive me
for looking down too deep inside
you know that I know as well as anyone
we all have things to hide
holding them so closely
never letting them out of our sight
but maybe there does come a time
when we should just give up the fight

amy hideaway
