about

Hide The Gun tells the tale of loss and loyalty. It's a stark reminder that life is too short to love half-heartedly or to stand down in the face of danger. The lyrics were written by Timothy Hoare and arranged for this song by Tonye Aganaba.

lyrics

Hide The Gun


Lie here beside me, just a little while longer
Don’t say anything, all I need is your breath
When I’m ready to rise I will rise all the stronger
For the things that weren’t spoken ‘bout Jack Moore’s Death
And I know in my mind that he had it long coming
Know in my heart what I did was right
Just lie here beside me ‘til my heart stops drumming
Lie here beside me on our last night

Ba ba da , lay down
Ba ba da da da, da da dad a
Ooooh, love lay down
Ba ba da da da, da da dad a


Tomorrow they’ll come I won’t run and they’ll find me
Calm and accepting of what I’ve done
Don’t watch as they floor me, pat me and bind me
Don’t ever tell where you’ve hidden the gun
And I know in my mind that he had it long coming
Know in my heart what I did was right
Just lie here beside me ‘til my heart stops drumming
Lie here beside me on our last night

Ba ba da , lay down
Ba ba da da da, da da dad a
Ooooh, love lay down
Ba ba da da da, da da dad a

It’s a pain, a pain that you grow to love
Baby you’re the only one I’m thinking of
And I try to keep the pieces together

Lie here beside me, my beautiful lover
Please don’t say a word just give me your eyes
And tomorrow they’ll come our bond will be severed
But our son will be safer that Jack’s not alive
Lie here beside me forever and ever


Ba ba da , lay down
Ba ba da da da, da da dad a
Ooooh, love lay down
Ba ba da da da, da da dad a

Lie here beside me, my beautiful lover
Please don’t say a word just give me your eyes
And tomorrow they’ll come our bond will be severed
But our son will be safer that Jack’s not alive
Lie here beside me forever and ever
