The story of the impossible

by Peter Von Poehl

Album: Going to where the tea-trees are

Whatever happened to the great escape
The finest ever made ?
Crafted with pride by masters of the trade, 
The world's greatest circus.

{Refrain:}
We had this story of the impossible, 
A tale best told softly.
One of make-believe, 
Maybe impossible to achieve, but really close.

Who soothed the lions hungry in their cage, 
With the confidence of a clown ?
A little man who rises on the stage
As he falls without a safety net ?

{au Refrain}

Whatever happened to the great escape
And to all the plans we made ?
Crafted with pride by Masters of the trade, 
The world's greatest circus.

{au Refrain}
