The Great Escape

The leaves will fall again

The wind comes crawling in

The rain with all its sin

Captures me again

The words it threw my way

Filled my soul with pain

My anger into space

Almost finds it's way again

Questions to embrace

Feelings that you'll face

In this holy land

A desert made of quicksand

Streets that lead you there

Places of your fear

Some force, pulls you in

The shadow world

About the time I made the great escape

I was falling, falling, falling from heaven

In every picture that I drew

I saw you

Falling, falling, falling from heaven

From an empty face

The smile wiped away

Eyes that never see

Blind the deepest me

Act a small charade

Words you can’t explain

Silence louder than the doubt

Lingers in the sound

By the time I made the great escape

I was falling, falling, falling from heaven

In every picture that I drew

I saw you

Falling, falling, falling from heaven

I got down on my knees and prayed

I was calling, calling, calling to heaven

Just in time I made the great escape

I was falling, falling, falling from heaven

If you just talk to me

If you just look at me

We’ll be all right

By the time I made the great escape

I was falling, falling, falling from heaven

In every picture that I drew

I saw you

Falling, falling, falling from heaven

I got down on my knees and prayed

I was calling, calling, calling to heaven

Just in time I made the great escape

I was falling, falling, falling from heaven

Falling from heaven.
