Escape

I cried
You smiled
I talked
You listened quietly
Escaping through the gaps

I broke
You left
I stayed
You moved on silently
Escaping my worst fears

I trembled all night long
While you stayed in bed

But you were not alone
You were not alone
You were not alone
And you made the great escape… again

I slept
You woke
I fumbled
You disappear into the night
Escaping one more time

I called
You lied
I saw
You took your puff of strength
Escaping all the while

I trembled all night long
While you stayed in bed

But you were not alone
You were not alone
You were not alone
And you made the great escape… just fine

I had, my doubts, when I, first met you, yeah
You seemed, too shy, too sweet, so unreal
I still, gave you, a taste of my young heart
But you threw it all away… yes you threw it all away…

I trembled all night long
While you stayed in bed

But you were not alone
You were not alone
You were not alone
And you made the great escape… just fine

But you were not alone
You were not alone
You were not alone
And you made the great escape… just fine
