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
