Escape Is So Simple

Escape Is So Simple - Cowboy Junkies

Written by：Michael Timmins

The way you kissed me this morning

It told me that you soon would be going

You didn't 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 I'm reading the letter

Which you placed on the dresser

And you're 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 it's 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 I'll 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 it's scar

Can always be traced

Escape is so simple

In a world where sunsets can be raced

But distance only looses the knife

The pattern of it's scar

Can always

Be traced
