Passenger - Manchester lyrics

Well Manchester you and me
We're free to be whatever we
Decide but like the weather
We never really know
I stand beneath your grey sky
Sing until my throat's dry
And you will never ask why
'cause we both already know

Well Manchester you and I
We're tangled like a fishing line
Dangled from your city spire
And hanging down below
I stand beneath your doorways and
Listen to your storiеs
You're struggling in more ways
Than one I supposе

Oh Manchester take me I'm
Yours for the keeping
Though the rain fills my shoes
From the sky always leaking
You're a baby that's laughing
You're a widow that's weeping
And I feel your heart beating tonight

Well Manchester me and you
We're aging you know it's true
With each passing year or two
Our shadows grow long
The lines on my face are like
The cracks in this place
But, you'll still be standing
Long after I'm gone

So Manchester take me I'm
Yours for the keeping
Though the rain fills my shoes
From the sky always leaking
You're a baby that's laughing
You're a widow that's weeping
And I feel your heart beating tonight

Oh Manchester take me I'll never stop asking
Though your answer is silent
It is honest and lasting
There's a beauty that's here and
It's never caught basking
And I feel your heart beating tonight
I feel your heart beating tonight
I feel your heart beating tonight
