He’s in the last place she’d ever look
The hero of hide and seek
She’s checked all the ash trays, bars and the books
Going on now two weeks
The hero of hide and seek
Taken the car keys left her the ring
Calls her his big mystique
She’s under the house, she’s smelling the sink
Patience is at its peak
For the hero of hide and seek
He’s in the pictures smiling back
Calling on the old days
Once upon a Christmas wish
Calling on the old days
She’s checking the inbox, all the old girls
The lovers who left him weak
Wonders aloud if he’s a swine among pearls
Is that what everybody else sees
In the hero of hide and seek
He’s incandescent every night
Calling on the old days
So how’d he get so hard to find
Calling on the old days
She’s packing it up, she’s changing the locks
Leaving this world to the meek
She don’t give a damn what anyone thinks
She’s leaving the widow’s peak
And the hero of hide and seek
