 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
Chorus:
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
Chorus
I could not escape
A plea from the heart
You know what it means to me
you said don't walk away
i got down on my knees
oh, please don't be mean to me
oh, you know 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
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
get down on your knees
You know what it means
what it means...
what it means...
what it means...
