Hiding Hiding - Thesilée

O little one, what have I done?
My crimes I dare not speak.
I wished to guard you anywhere,
But I have proved too weak.
I can’t forget your frightened eyes,
I heard you call my name.
I wished to be a hero,
But now I die of shame.

And now I’m hiding in the shadows, I am hiding from your eyes,
I am hiding in the water, I am hiding from my lies.
I’m a miserable creature and my face you will not know
But I’ve vowed an oath of honour that I’ll go
Wheree’er you’ll go…

My friends of late I have betrayed
I even don’t know why.
I’ve brought dishonour to my land
And knew I had to die.
But when I stood to end my fate
I got a cunning plan:
Why die a rueful traitor,
When I can live a man?

So when I met that hairless brat
I killed it with a strike.
Then in my robes I clad it
So we would look alike.
My hair and beard I all shaved off
And stuck it to his head,
Then left it there a-laying :
My friends should think me dead.

So late that night I did decide
To swim behind your boat.
You’ll never recognize me:
I look like Mr Toad.
I cannot say I like this life,
I’m full of bitterness.
But still it’s fun to roll my eyes
And snarl, and hiss my »s«
