"You Nearly Did Me In" lyrics

See lonely shadows
Silver needles
Abandoned in the evening war
Lost children of the night
Come catch the candles bright
I hear a hollow sound
Falling to the ground
She's lost before she's found

Sad broken angels taking rainbows
Out on the street for all to see
If we are the chosen few
Whatever 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
You nearly did
You nearly did
You nearly did me in
You nearly did
You nearly did
You nearly did
You nearly did me in
I need some place to lay
My weary anger down

Out on some misty distant highway
Feel like I thought 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

You nearly did
You nearly did
You nearly did
You nearly did me in
You nearly did
You nearly did
You nearly did
You nearly did me in
You nearly did
You nearly did
You nearly did
You nearly did me in
Oh, I need some place to lay
My weary anger down

What ever happened to dignity
What ever happened to integrity
What ever happened to honesty
Well, I'll tell you something baby (baby)
I feel the pain just like the sea

You nearly did
You nearly did
You nearly did
You nearly did me in
You nearly did
You nearly did
You nearly did
You nearly did me in
You nearly did
You nearly did
You nearly did
You nearly did me in
Oh, I need some place to lay
My weary anger down (down...)
