Ian Hunter — You Nearly Did Me In lyrics

Lyrics

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 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
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
