Heading for the great escape
Heading for the rave
Heading for the permanent holiday
Heading for the winter trip
Heading for the slide
Heading for the dignified walk away
Heading for the open road
Goodbye to all that
Heading for the automatic overload
Standing in the open boat
Standing in the swing
Waiting for the ringing and the bright light
Waiting to be recognised
Quiet applause will do
They shower you with flowers when they bury you
You're holding on, you're holding on ...
I. The Last of You
Just when I thought I'd seen the last of you
You come here scratchin' at my door
Your pain and anger's in the howling dark
Of every corridor I walk
So tell me more about the love that you rejected
Tell me more about the trust you disrespected
I still don't know, why did you hurt the very one
Why did you hurt the very one
That you should have protected?
Heading for the great escape
Heading for the rave
Heading for the permanent holiday
Heading for the high cloud-nine
Heaven number seven
Heading for the long goodbye
Uncurl the fingers that hold
Summon the strength to let go
Out of the tired world
Out of the upset
Into the sunset

Review about Great Escape Haunting | Reviewer: Steve | 2/19/09
This song is haunting. Very emtional part of Brave, imho. If you have never listend to Marillion, get Brave and listen to it "loud and with the lights off." Another must have release from them is thier first album, Script for a Jester's Tear, but get the release with the bonus disc so you can get their first EP as well, featuring Market Square Heroes, Three Boats Down From The Candy and the masterpiece, 19 minute epic, Grendel.
Oh yeah, the new release, Happiness from the road is great as well as Fish's last release, 13th star. Get them both, now!
