Can’t Escape from You (Unreleased, December 2005)

[Verse 1] Oh the evenin' train is rolling All along the homeward way All my hopes are over the horizon All my dreams have gone away The hillside darkly shaded Stars fall from above All the joys of Earth have faded The night's untouched, my love I'll be here 'til tomorrow Beneath a shroud of gray I pretend I'm free of sorrow My heart is miles away The dead bells are ringin' My train is overdue To your memory I'm clingin' I can't escape from you [Verse 2] Well, I hear the sound of thunder Roarin' loud and long Sometimes you've got to wonder God knows I've done no wrong You've wasted all your power You threw out the Christmas pie Now you're witherin' like a flower You'll play the fool and die I'm neither sad nor sorry I'm all dressed up in black I fought for fame and glory You tried to break my back In the far off sweet forever The sunshine peekin' through We should've walked together I can't escape from you [Verse 3] I cannot grasp the shadows That gather near the door Rain falls round my window I wish I'd seen you more The path is ever windin' The stars they never age The morning light is blinding All the world's a stage Should be the time of gladness Happy faces everywhere The mystery of madness Is propagating in the air I don't like the city Not like some folks do Isn't it a pity I can't escape from you? [Verse 4] We plowed the fields of heaven Right down to the end I hope I can be forgiven If any words of mine offend All our days were splendid They were simple, they were plain It never should have ended I should have kissed you in the rain I've been thinking things all over All the moments full of grace The primrose and the clover Your ever changing face Can't help looking at you You made love with God-knows-who Never found a gal to match you I can't escape from you
