Ian Hunter You Nearly Did Me In 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
Ohh, 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
Ohh, 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
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
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
I need some place to lay my weary anger down
