Manchester Lyrics

Artist : BRENDAN JAMES
Album : The Day Is Brave

Plains and painted trees
The long south willow street
A raging river turning
Feelings never change
And the names remain the same
As children go on learning

Like all the town she fights
She prays she'll do it right
With nature's sounds to guide
Her safely through the night

All of Manchester together
To carry on the weight that is life
That has changed over night
Let the good lend their hands
As the old teach the young
This is all of Manchester
Together, to carry us on

Shades of red and white
In the blinking of an eye
The blues not far behind
Free to live for the price
Of the cold November night
A chill that never dies

Like all the town she fights
She prays she'll do it right
With nature's sounds to guide
Her safely through the night

All of Manchester together
To carry on the weight that is life
That has changed over night
Let the good lend their hands
As the old teach the young
This is all of Manchester
Together, to carry us on

Father Roger speaks,
he brings us to our knees
It's beautiful

All of Manchester together
To carry on the weight that is life
That has changed over night
Let the good lend their hands
As the old teach the young
This is all of Manchester
Together, to carry us on
To carry us on

So let the good lend their hands
As the old teach the young
This is all of Manchester
Together, to carry us on
