Escape Artist Lyrics

Tried so hard to find my way

On that cold bitter day

And my mind was so frozen that I hardly knew what to say

Once I had a friend I loved so dear

But she gone and run away

And I cried so hard, yeah I cried and my sorrow did stay

You're always coming and a-going as you please, babe

Yeah you never give me warning, and you always got me on my knees, babe

Don't know why I hung around

Guess I'm just a fool for your face

Don't you know if I could I'd forget you, yeah I'd bury you away

Once I had a friend, I tracked her down

But I didn't know what to say

Yeah I stared for awhile, and I blew it, and she left me on my way

Oh, you're always coming and a-going as you please, babe

Yeah you never give me warning, and you always got me on my knees, babe

Yeah I'm always chasing after ghosts to get to you, baby blue

Yeah you always leave me hanging and you wear me and you tear me down with ease, babe

I don't mind taking a bullet once and awhile

It's the waiting around that'll kill me, that'll put me underground

Oh you're always coming and a-going as you please, babe

Yeah you never give me warning, and you always got me on my knees, babe

Yeah I'm always chasing after ghosts to get to you, baby blue

Yeah you always leave me hanging and you wear me and you tear me down with ease, Babe
