IAN HUNTER - You Nearly Did Me In lyrics

rate me

(Ian Hunter)

See lonely shadows - silver needles

Abandoned in the evening war

Lost children of the night - come catch the candle bright

I hear a hollow sound - falling to the ground - she's lost before she's found

Sad broken angels takin' rainbows

Out on the street for all to see

If we are the chosen few - what ever happened to

All those things we knew, if this is being free -

I'd rather search for me

CHORUS

You nearly did, you nearly did, you nearly did

You nearly did me in, you nearly did me in

And I need some place to hide - my weary anger down

Out on some misty distant highway

Feel like I though a million miles

Is my search nearly done - I think I see someone

I get the urge to run on blindly through the rain,

and I fool myself again

CHORUS

What ever happened to dignity

What ever happened to integrity

What ever happened to honesty

Well I'll tell you something baby - I feel the pain just like the sea

CHORUS
