Can't You See
Written by Dan Peek, ©1976
Found on Hideaway and Highway.

Alone, sitting here on my own
There's no place I'd rather be
Or so it seems

Home, miles away from home
And there's no place I'd rather be
Can't you see?

You hold your life in your hands
And no one takes from a man
Who gives the best that he can
To make someone understand

I've flown miles away from home
And there's no place I'd rather be
Can't you see?

You hold your life in your hands
And no one takes from a man
Who gives the best that he can
To make someone understand

Home, miles away from home
And there's no place I'd rather be
Can't you see, can't you see, can't you see?
Can't you see, can't you see, can't you see?
Can't you see, can't you see, can't you see?

Highway Highlight (from the box set booklet) "Can't You See" is another tune by Peek that expresses the conflicted feelings he was having at the time: "I think I wrote that while I was there at Caribou. The whole lyric is both a statement and a question at the same time. Again, I was the rebel, the runner--I'm miles away from home, and there's no place I'd rather be. But where did I mean: at home or thousands of miles away? I knew I was restless; I think I was growing up as a person, and suffering more, and having more times of happiness and sadness."
