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 friends 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 motel
and you asked me what i was thinking
i was thinking of a padded cell
with a black and white tv
to stop us from getting lonely
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
no, i could not escape
a plea from the heart
mysterious sympathy
i couldn't wait for a chance
to walk out the door
you know what it means to me
I saw you lying in the arms of a poet
i heard him tell you t...tantalizing lies
whad'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
to walk out the door
mean ...
you know what it means
in the arms of a poet
you know what it means
