She came
all the way from America
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 hotel
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
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 flying in the arms of a poet
I heard him tell you t…tantalizing lies
(about me)
Well whad’d’ya know, whad’d’ya
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
