We used to play hide & go seek
Around the age of seven
In that schoolyeard it was unique
To find a place to hide
But we tried
Not a tree not a flower
Just the pavements of summer
Close your eyes & count real slow
Even long ago
It seemed to me that I was always
Looking for Maureen
And when we played who do you love
Somewhere around eleven
It was Maureen that I thought of
Though it was clear to see
I filled her with ennui
I used to send her valentines
With honey bees that said Bee Mine
Oh I never signed my name though
My sister Margaret let me know
A couple girls liked me but I was always
Looking for Maureen
I saw her once down at the shore
Thought I'd died & gone to heaven
It must have been the year before
We both turned twenty-one
Man it was pretty fun
We rode the wild mouse
We got lost in the haunted house
She looked just like my first wife
I've been playing hide & seek all my life
Ally all in free but I was always
Looking for Maureen.
