The Message Lyrics by Runrig

In Search of Angels

0

[Verse 1]
I'm gonna dance you 'round the floor
Gonna drink you under the tables
Gonna take the last flight home
To Balivanich in the month of June
Go racin' up the south ford
Turnin' midnight in the cars
Waitin' up late with the Greenock girls
They're singin' every song that made us

[Chorus]
You take your message to the waters
And you watch the ripples flow
Now somewhere out on that ocean
It says, Mary, please don't go

[Verse 2]
We're gonna lie down on the grass
Your lipstick in the clover
Gonna marry Mary in the summertime
The Atlantic 'round our shoulders
Skies are dawnin' round the Langass Barpa
Stopped off at the Whitebridge waters
It's all crossroads lined with telegraph poles
The rise of lark song fills the morning

[Chorus]
You take your message to the waters
And you watch the ripples flow
Now somewhere out on that ocean
Lies our fear should we grow old
You take your message to the waters
And you watch the ripples flow
Now somewhere out on that ocean
It says, Mary, please don't go

[Verse 3]
And when we wasted all our young years
Who's to say we never tried
To live fast and honour our pledges
Here we vowed to stay young till we die
We drank the life from the last of the bottle
We wrote our message out like a prayer
Then we threw away the message with all our hearts
And we watched our lives disappear

[Chorus]
You take your message to the waters
And you watch the ripples flow
Now somewhere out on that great beyond
Lies our fear should we grow old
You take your message to the waters
And you watch the ripples flow
Now somewhere out on that ocean
It says, Mary, please don't go
