The Great Escape Lyrics - The Great Escape - Ilse Delange

The leaves will fall again, the wind comes crawling in 

The rain with all its sin catches me again 

The words went through my wave, filled my soul with pain 

My anger into space, almost found its way again 

Questions to embrace, feelings that you face 

In this holy land, the desert made of quicksand 

Streets that lead you there, places of your fear 

Some force pulls you in, the shadow world 

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 wiped 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 prayed 

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 all right 

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 prayed 

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
