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 friend's committing suicide
I could not escape, a plea from the heart
You know what it means to me
She said, Dont walk away, Im 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, Dont walk away, Im 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 lying in the arms of a poet
I heard him tell you t-tantalizing lies
Well, whad'd'ya know, whad'd'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
You know what it means
In the arms of a poet
You know what it means
