about

Hide & Seek (Hajj/Nentwich 2015)

Hide & Seek was the first follow-up co-writing with the American singer-songwriter Jen Hajj in 2015 after we had met on Inisheer (Ireland) at a co-writing retreat. It is a song about saying farewell to your family home and the question what stays.

lyrics

Hide&Seek
(Hajj/Nentwich 2015)

The house is silent now
Dust dances in the air
We walk the empty rooms
So many stories there

We spun the old tire swing
From dawn to dusk each day
Dressed up in fairy wings
Running wild and free

We played hide and seek out in the garden
Carved a heart in the old oak tree
We believed this home was everlasting
But our love remains, I do believe

Seasons came and went
We grew up and moved on
Our time seemed endless
But life goes on

All the memories that cling
To the ordinary things
Makes it hard to let them go

We played hide and seek out in the garden
Carved a heart in the old oak tree
We believed this home was everlasting
But our love remains, I do believe

It's all packed up in boxes
To be taken away
How do you we decide
What goes and what stays?

Out in the garden a heart carved in the old tree
And I still see us playing hide and seek
Out in the garden a heart carved in the old tree
And I still see us playing hide and seek
hide and seek, hide and seek
