Greatest Escape

They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder

They say that distance makes the love last longer

Maybe I didn’t believe it was true

Maybe I thought this’d be easier to get through

Often, I think of going with you to that lonely place

Way up in the sky where you’ve found an escape

Often, I can’t wait until you come home

And then realize you’re truly long gone

Unexpected separation and unexpected devastation

Yet, we will meet again someday in that place

Where you have found the greatest escape.
