Our Escape

rusted tower where we would meet

once had life, once had us

small town memories discreet

tower mighty our hidden retreat

rainy day escape it was a must

rusted tower where we would meet

painted structure in that day complete

no one knew, they made such a fuss

small town memories discreet

high above it all, our heavenly seat

we'd plan we'd scheme we'd fuss

small town memories discreet

first kiss, first embrace, high above the concrete

learned about love, learned about trust

small town memories discreet

our tower now old, shaking, obsolete

cherished memories... for that...we lust

rusted tower where we would meet

small town memories discreet
