Hide nor Hair
Lost Love's Vanishing Act
Lyrics
Hide nor hair
Expressing that there is no sign or trace of something.
Oh, I was lying in the bed with fever
Describing a personal condition of illness and discomfort.
And I was burning up inside
Feeling intense emotions or turmoil internally.
My baby walked in my bedroom
Referring to the narrator's romantic partner entering the room.
And I could hardly open my eyes
Struggling to see or focus due to illness.
She said she was going to the pawn shop
Announcing the partner's intention to visit a pawn shop.
Just across the track
Indicating the location of the pawn shop.
She started packing some clothes in a hurry
Partner hastily packing clothes, suggesting urgency.
And then she said she would be right back
Expressing the partner's assurance of a quick return.
But I ain't seen hide nor hair my baby since that day
Emphasizing the absence of any sign of the partner since that day.
Well I ain't seen hide nor hair my baby since she went away
Reiterating the partner's disappearance.
I remember so well when she slammed the door
Recalling the moment when the partner left abruptly.
But the girl didn't make it back no more
Noting that the partner never returned after slamming the door.
I ain't seen hide nor hair my baby since that day
Reaffirming the absence of any trace of the partner.
Well I waited for her twenty four hours
Describing a prolonged wait for the partner.
And I was just about to starve to death
Facing the possibility of starvation during the wait.
It didn't look like she was coming back
Observing that the partner seems unlikely to return.
So I had to look out for myself
Taking initiative to prioritize self-survival.
Well I called the police department
Seeking information from the police about the partner's whereabouts.
To find out what they knew
Police denying knowledge but expressing intent to find her.
They said, no by heck but we will get her yet
Police actively searching for the partner.
Because they were looking for her too.
Reiterating the partner's disappearance.
But I ain't seen hide nor hair my baby since that day
Stating the absence of any sign of the partner since that day.
Well I ain't seen hide nor hair my baby since she went away
Reaffirming the partner's continued absence.
Well I don't know what happened across the track
Uncertain about events across the track, where the partner went.
But I know my baby didn't make it back
Believing the partner did not return.
I ain't seen hide nor hair my baby since that day.
Reiterating the absence of any trace of the partner.
Well I called my Dr. Foster
Contacting Dr. Foster, possibly a physician.
And when the girl answered the phone
Learning that Dr. Foster is unavailable.
I got a funny feeling
Feeling uneasy based on the response from Dr. Foster's assistant.
The way she said Dr. Foster had gone
Indicating Dr. Foster's recent absence.
She said he left with a lady patient
Explaining Dr. Foster's departure with a female patient.
About twenty four hours ago
Detailing the timing of Dr. Foster's departure.
I added two and two and here's what I got
Concluding that the partner is unlikely to return.
I got I'll never see that girl no mo'
Expressing a sense of loss and resignation.
But I ain't seen hide nor hair my baby since that day
Reiterating the absence of any trace of the partner.
Well I ain't seen hide nor hair my baby since she went away
Affirming the partner's continued absence.
If Dr. foster has got her then I know I'm through
Contemplating the partner's potential involvement with Dr. Foster.
Cause he's got medicine and money too.
Highlighting Dr. Foster's possession of both medicine and money.
I ain't seen hide nor hair my baby since that day.
Reiterating the absence of any trace of the partner.
Whoa no
Expressing a sense of despair or realization of the partner's permanent absence.
