Translation
Bilingual
She came all the way from America
She had a blind date with destiny
And the sound of Te Awamutu
Had a truly sacred ring
ย
Now her parents are divorced
And her friend's committing suicide
I could not escape a plea from the heart
You know what it means to me
She said don't walk away
I'm down on my knees
So please don't be mean to me
So I talked to you for an hour
In the bar of a small town motel
And you asked me what I was thinking
I was thinking of a padded cell
With a black and white TV
To stop us from getting lonely
I could not escape a plea from the heart
You know what it means to me
Said don't walk away, I'm down on my knees
Please don't be mean to me
No, I could not escape a plea from the heart
Mysterious sympathy
I couldn't wait for a chance to walk out the door
You know what it means to me, I
ย
I saw you lying in the arms of a poet
I, I heard him tell you t-tantalizing lies
What do you know? (What do you know?)
Could not escape down on the floor
Know what it means to me
Couldn't wait for a chance to walk out the door
Babe, babe ฬง, no, no, no
ย
She didn't get what she came for
She came a long way, long way for nothing
She came a long way, long way for no one
She said a lot of things she regreted in the morning
She came a long way
You know, you know what it means
So mean
A plea from the heart, baby
A plea from the heart
In the arms of a poet now
She'll know what it means
In the arms of a poet
She'll know what it means
