Marillion - Goodbye To All That

(Music: Marillion Lyrics: Steve Hogarth & John Helmer)

They try to trace her in the town
Appeal for information on the local news
Someone must have missed her by now
A mother or a father or a friendly face to talk her down

She's heading for the great escape
Heading for the rave
Heading for the permanent holiday ...


(i) wave

Hold your breath ... 'till you feel it begin ...
Here it comes ...
Do you feel that?...
... 'Feel this?
Get used to it ...
She had the face of the statue of liberty
Oh free me

The fire and ice of Amazon and Eskimo
Take me home

The edge and glance of high fashion
Ask me about next year ...


(ii) made

Tell me I'm mad
How should I know?

Tell me I'm mad
I have been here for so long ...

Help me paint a picture
