Passenger — Manchester

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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
