Escape Is So Simple Lyrics - The Caution Horses - Cowboy Junkies

(Michael Timmins) 

The way you kissed me this morning 

it told me that you soon would be going 

You didn't even look in my eyes 

when you said goodbye 

And last night in your sleep you broke all the promises 

that I knew you would never keep 

Now I'm reading the letter which you placed on the dresser 

and you're five hundred miles down the road

Escape is so simple 

in a world where sunsets can be raced 

But distance only looses the knife 

the pattern of its scar 

can always be traced 

Yeah, I remember when we said 'forever' 

was the craziest word that we knew 

but I think that I like it much better than I do 'goodbye' 

And I could sit here all evening and think of the reasons 

why you are not by my side 

Instead I'll go to the kitchen, find a strong chair to sit in 

and drink myself far, far away
