The Quireboys - The Messenger lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

To whom it may concern

I think I know where it all went wrong

I can't qualify to turn back the hands of time

I can feel, I can see but I know I'm dreamin'

C'est la vie, the same for you

(Chorus)

This ship was sailing, caught falling angels

You walk always, I left my cards all over the table

This ain't no game I'm playn, what you're thinking I'm just sayn

I got to, got to get a message to you, babe

Why d'you keep me hanging so long?

Message to you, baby, how'd you hide a feeling so strong?

(Verse)

For wind was out loud to say a word that wasn't mine

Or take a journey through a life that's always closed

Well, I won't stop or give it up, that's how I'm livin'

Abide(?) my time just for you

(Chorus)

This ship was sailing through storm waters

I still go by it a thousand times ?

This ain't no game I'm playn, what you're thinking I'm just sayn?

I got to, got to get a message to you, babe

Why d'you keep me hanging so long?

Message to you, baby, how'd you hide a feeling so strong?

Strong

(Instrumental break)

(Chorus)

Why d'you keep me hanging so long?

Message to you, babe, why d'you keep me hanging so long?

Message to you, babe, how'd you hide a feeling so strong?

Message to you, babe, why d'you keep me hanging so long?

So strong?
