[Lyric] Check Me Out Hey Hey Hey (Peter Mulvey)

[Verse 1]
The fields are falling silent
And the house is going quiet
And the dark stealing in the cracks
The back stairs creaking just the wind
It makes a sighing feels like crying
Or like rising off the bed

[Verse 2]
My head spins I twist the sheets
The attic throwing too much heat
And Jodi in the bunk above
I love it when she finally falls asleep
I creep out into the yard
I go running up the hill

[Chorus]
Check me out—hey hey hey

[Verse 3]
I will, I will I tell the trees
As they are bending at the knees
And as I rise in their еmbrace
My face is flushing up with blood
And it is good to be so scarеd
As I go whistling to the stars
[Verse 4]
And as far as the eye can see
Nobody 'tween the moon and me
The yard a little green square
I dare you to be brave as this
And kiss the night and let it take you
Where I been since you all fell asleep

[Chorus]
Check me out—hey hey hey
Check me out—hey hey hey

[Verse 5]
I love the leap I love the rise and fall
And all the breezes as they call
The name that I won't tell you 'bout
Because you'd shout and then you'd say
I hafta tell you why and I would lie
And say that Grandpa told me how

[Verse 6]
And now there is something just beyond
The stream that goes beside the woods
In back of Suzie's yard it's hard to see
I try and try 'cause why
Would they hide what I believe
That they got hidden there?
[Chorus]
Check me out—hey hey hey
Check me out—hey hey hey
Hey hey hey

[Verse 7]
My hair gets up in my face
I try to trace the path I think it took
But when you look it's gone
It's been so long that I been
Coming out this way to stay
Until I'm sure it must've got away

[Verse 8]
Today I told Sarah how to get here
But I bet that she forgot
It's not the way you go
It's just the place you are
The stars are bright and tonight
I think we'd find it if we put our heads together

[Chorus]
Check me out—hey hey hey
Check me out—hey hey hey
Check me out—hey hey hey
Check me out—hey hey hey
