Sitting there at home, he arrived home late
   With no more blood cells to inebriate
   He lunged at her there, she fell from the couch
   He grabbed her body as he pulled her down
   She was screaming no, kicking out at him
   But he weighed a ton, she could never win
   He fell down on her like a sack of snakes
   Tears fell from her face as she cried and cried
   When there’s hope, when there’s fear
   What is there to say that he might hear
   You turn him down with no mistake
   Now you’re leaving, the great escape
  
   She ran from the room out of their back door
   Leaving him to sleep on the front room floor
   And she walked that night to the town hall square
   She knew it was through and she didn’t care
   She stood up to him, he looked down on her
   He shot the message and the messenger
   When he woke he was sick with all the shame
   Tears fell from his face as she cried and cried
  
   She arrived back home, he was on his knees
   Begging with his heart please come back to me
