Escape is So Simple — текст песни (cowboy junkies)

The way you kissed me this morning

It told me that you soon would be going

You didnt even look in my eyes

When you said goodbye



And last night in your sleep you broke all the promises

That I knew you would never keep

Now Im reading the letter which you placed on the dresser

And youre five hundred miles down the road



Escape is so simple

In a world where sunsets can be raced

But distance only looses the knife

The pattern of its scar

Can always be traced



Yeah, I remember when we said forever

Was the craziest word that we knew

But I think that I like it much better than I do goodbye



And I could sit here all evening and think of the reasons

Why you are not by my side

Instead Ill go to the kitchen, find a strong chair to sit in

And drink myself far, far away



Escape is so simple

In a world where sunsets can be raced

But distance only looses the knife

The pattern of its scar

Can always be traced
