Lyrics Where You Hid the Truth - Michael Franks

You and I like distant stars
Whole hemispheres apart
You're the lesson I must learn
And I'm the seed inside your heart

It seems so harmless when you first misplace it
But once it's lost it's awful hard to trace it
Before you know it you've forgotten where
Where you hid the truth

We learn our Lincoln but we do not heed it
So draw a treasure map in case you need it
The past's a jungle which can sure obscure
Where you hid the truth

Why not recherche your temps perdu
And hope that you can find a clue
To where you hid the truth?

Why not recherche your temps perdu
And hope that you can find a clue
To where you hid the truth?

Who of us can cast the first stone?
Certainly not me
But at least I know deceit's no friend
You can rely upon

It seems so harmless when you first misplace it
But once it's lost it's awful hard to trace it
Before you know it you've forgotten where
Where you hid the truth

We learn our Lincoln but we do not heed it
So draw a treasure map in case you need it
The past's a jungle which can sure obscure
Where you hid the truth

Have you forgotten where, forgotten where you hid the
Have you forgotten where, forgotten where you hid the
Have you forgotten where you hid the truth?

Have you forgotten where, forgotten where you hid the
Have you forgotten where, forgotten where you hid the
Have you forgotten where you hid the truth?
