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 found its 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
