Pierce Pettis - One Who Got Away lyrics

Got a ten-speed strapped to the back of her Volkswagen With its roulette wheel spinning in the wind In her careful schoolgirl way She is driving all the way to Colorado Says she's staying with some friends From a hotel window streaming down in fiery pieces Is a silent sad beaucoup of falling stars Those pieces of the sky Like sparks from bonfires fly and sputter out Like pieces of my heart She's the one who got away She only came to play She had a way of escape from the start She's the one who got away And I think of her today She's the one Who got away with my heart I remember nights lying in the moonlight And I could not believe this had come true And the breeze in from the sea Would turn her fan like a whirligig Like a roulette wheel And my head was spinning, too (CHORUS) Like a gambler at the wheel in Monte Carlo Like a sailor on shore leave in Hong Kong Like a kid in a candy store All I wanted and kore than I could hold And even that was not enough (CHORUS)
