She came all the way from |
|
America She had a blind date with destiny |
|
And the sound of |
|
Te Awamutu |
|
Had a truly sacred ring |
|
Now her parents |
|
Are divorced |
|
And her friend's committing suicide |
|
I could not escape |
|
A plea from the heart |
|
You know what it means to me |
|
She said don't walk away |
|
I'm down on my knees |
|
So please don't be mean to me |
|
So I talked to you for an hour |
|
In the bar of a small town hotel |
|
And you asked me what |
|
I was thinking |
|
I was thinking of a padded cell |
|
With a black and white |
|
T.V. To stop us from getting lonely |
|
I could not escape |
|
A plea from the heart |
|
You know what it means to me |
|
You said don't walk away |
|
I'm down on my knees |
|
So please don't be mean to me |
|
You know I could not escape |
|
A plea from the heart |
|
Mysterious sympathy |
|
I couldn't wait for a chance |
|
Walk out the door |
|
You know what it means to me |
|
I... I... |
|
I saw you lying in the arms of a poet |
|
I I heard him tell you ta...tantalizing |
|
Lies What'd'ya know |
|
Whad'd'ya know |
|
I could not escape |
|
You're down on the floor |
|
You know what it means to me |
|
I couldn't wait for a chance |
|
Walk out the door |
|
Mean... Mean... |
|
I could not escape |
|
Down on my knees |
|
You know what it means |
|
What it means |
|
What it means |
|
In the arms of a poet |
|
You know what it means |
