The Great Escape-original by amily54

This is a song i wrote many years ago, its about domestic abuse, but the getting out of it which keeps it light hearted i guess, hope you like it. VOTE VOTE VOTE

Lyrics:

There was a slam, a scream a cry of exhaustion

a cold glass of water poured onto his head

he could not believe that he had been shut down

thats she would run around, behind his back 

and the world could see the pain in his eyes

the pain as he tried to figure it out

she'd left she'd gone, she'd walked through the door

their love was no more, oh what a shame!

she walked through the door tears streaming down her face

he pushed her to the floor and they started to race

 

a battle of passion took place on the street

all who saw could not draw their eyes from the scene

what to do what to say? so they swung and they swayed 

to the song that we've named=the great escape

 

there was a punch a throw a tangle of bodies 

he knew she was moving to make her escape

so he grabbed an arm, tight grip round her wrist

that once he had kissed, now the tables have turned

she walked to the door now with courage on her face

he pushed her to the floor and they started to race 

 

a battle of passion took place on the street

all who saw could not draw their eyes from the scene

what to do what to say? so they swung and they swayed 

to the song that we've named=the great escape

 

now there's no slam, no scream no cry of exhaustion

a cold glass of water stood sitill on the shelf

she could not believe that she was so safe now

she still couldn't see how, she'd found herself

in this whole new life, with love and affection

a simple perfection, all thanks to him

who had come and swept this girl off her feet, so gentle and sweet

and so they lived... happily ever after

happily ever after.....
