Getaway
©1990 Andrew Calhoun, recorded on Hope.
Make your getaway, darling
Ride the midnight bus
Leave all that struggle and snarling
Come on back to us
I've got a homemade meal in the freezer
Hidden way down in the back
There's one cold beer for a teaser
There's a cup with your name in the rack
Hearts dance like flies in the darkness
Feeling their way to the light
I know you're out there somewhere
Keeping me awake all night
I've grown so scared of loving
How far it all goes wrong
Sometimes it's worth the losing
For a chance to sing the song
Rewrite with bridge:
Make your getaway, darling
Ride the midnight bus
Leave all that struggle and snarling
come on back to us
There's a homemade meal in the freezer
Hidden way down in the back
Your bed is waiting patient,
There's a cup with your name in the rack
Make your getaway, darling
Ride the midnight bus
Leave all that struggle and snarling
come on back to us
Hearts dance like flies in the darkness
Feeling their way to the light
I know you're out there somewhere
Keeping me awake all night
bridge
Listen for the whisper,
Of a promise holding strong
To see you through the shadow,
To keep you all night long,
We show the scars of loving
How far it all goes wrong
And know it's worth the losing
For a chance to sing the song
Make your getaway, darling
Ride the midnight bus
Leave all that struggle and snarling
come on back to us
