Hideaway By Todd Rundgren

Brendan, this song says so much about how I felt about you.
I wanted to understand your world. Now I realize, we ALL
wanted to understand your world. I spent countless hours/days/
weeks/months and over a year trying to figure you out; what
made you tick. As your mom said to me, regarding you,
"We've never been able to crack the code."

The other part of this song makes me think of where you've gone?
 I feel you in my heart all of the time now.Yet, I'm still attached to
your human form. I'd give anything to have you here on earth again,
sitting next to you watching shows and snuggling with the Whoo.
When I think of you, I see myself caressing your hair as you sleep.
And in the daydream I go so deeply into, I hear myself saying over
and over again, "It's okay Brendan, everything is going to be okay.
It's okay honey, it's okay honey."

I know I say this again and again. But gosh; I am so very happy
that I gave you so very much love and attention. So very glad!

Hideaway

by Todd Rundgren

I've been watching how you dance

Watching how you smile

Watching how you carry yourself around in a crowd

And watching what you say


You've got something that's a secret to the average eye

You've been saving something nobody's seen until now

In a hideaway

I'm not trying to invade your privacy


There are things you have a right to hide

But it's oh so cold

Standing on the outside

Will you take me to your secret hideaway


I won't tell nobody where I'm going

Won't you tell me that we're leaving right away

For the heart of your hideaway

Everybody's looking for a heaven on earth


A slice of paradise where nobody gets hurt

Someone to put the pieces back together again

When your daydreams die

Are you trying to get a message through the air to me?


Get me on your wavelength and tell me which way to go

To your hideaway

I can't stand another second in this tinker-toy world

Give me your direction


Don't make me wait anymore

It seems so far away

You can trust me with your secret fantasy

You will never know until you've tried


But it's oh so cold

Standing on the outside


I've been trying to get a message

Through the air to you

Get on my wavelength

And I'll tell you which way to go

To my hideaway


I will show you to my secret hideaway

We will tell nobody where we're going
