Lyrics
Hide and Seek Nanci Hobson November 30, 2011
Summer games...
......chasing fireflies ...staying up late
Balancing stones
On a dark beach ...the moon so close.....
We reached... up... we stole the stars
we believed...we made them ours
but summers gone ...it's colder now...and all those stars are falling all around..
Ollie ollie in come free...
I'm still here... where I said I'd be...
Ollie ollie in come free
Come out now ...no more hide and seek
Where'd you go
I wait for you...but you don't show....
I close my eyes
I look for you inside my mind
I feel the heat...the summer sun
Those crazy seagulls....they laugh at us.....
Big rolling waves...we ride them in...
I close my eyes, I ride those waves again............
Ollie ollie in come free...
I'm still here... where I said I'd be...
Ollie ollie in come free
Come out now ...no more hide and seek
The tide is so low now....
I'll wait for you
With... my eyes closed
I'll wait for you
Through winter snow
I'll wait for you
Until you are a ghost
I'll wait for you
no one else
Has come close
Ollie ollie in come free...
I'm still here... where I said I'd be...
Ollie ollie in come free
Ollie ollie in come free
Ollie ollie in come free.....
