"And my heart is playing hide and seek / Wait and count to four."
Metaphor in Context
Mom and Dad and violins
Somber country silence
The needle stopped the kicking
The clothespins on the floor
And my heart is playing hide and seek
Wait and count to four

Will you love me like you loved me and I'll never ask for more
