The Great Escape - Ilse Delange

The leaves will fall again

The wind comes crawling in The rain with all its sin

Captures me again

The words that threw my way

Filled my soul with pain

My anger into space

Almost finds it’s way again

Questions to embrace

Feelings that you face

In this holy land

Desert made of quick sand

Streets that lead you there

Places of your fear

Some force pulls you in The shadow words

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

From an empty face

The smile whipped 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 pray

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 alright

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 pray

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
