Manchester Passenger

[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
