"A Venture" lyrics

Yes Lyrics

"A Venture"

Once a peaceful man laid his old head down by a river
Thought about his childhood life, his father and forgiver
Who couldn't hide away, hide away

He controlled the horses with a handclap or a whisper
Drink he couldn't combat but in all he was no sinner
Who couldn't hide away, hide away

He told all his sons of all the antics of a venture
Then he told another one who drove himself to drink
Not to hide away, hide away

Better men have realised alone is not a venture
A peaceful man would realise alone is no adventure
Just to hide away, hide away

He told all his sons of all the antics of a venture
Then he told another one who drove himself to drink
Not to hide away, hide away
Hide away, hide away
Hide away, hide away
