Manchester 1984 -

In homage to my past

I don’t let go easy

So I can’t understand what you mean

When you say you’re leaving completely

But I’ll cut these ties that bind me to the morning light

I’ll swallow these pills in hopes that I’ll sleep tonight

Oh, but you don’t know, but you don’t know

What you leave until you’re gone

But you don’t know, but you don’t know

What you have until it’s gone forever

I lost my heart in Manchester, oh

So tell me what you think about flowers

Blooming in a foreign garden

Chances are you’ve already forgotten

Chances are you’ve already lost them

Watch what you wish for often

Take me back to Manchester

Brief, these moments that pass us by

We don’t cherish them

We just live our lives

Oh, but you don’t know, but you don’t know

What you leave until you’re gone

But you don’t know, but you don’t know

What you have until it’s gone forever

I lost my heart in Manchester, oh

I lost my heart in Manchester, oh

So tell me what you think about flowers

Blooming in a foreign garden

Chances are you’ve already forgotten

Chances are you’ve already lost them

Watch what you wish for often

Take me back to Manchester

Blooming in a foreign garden

Chances are you’ve already forgotten

Chances are you’ve already lost them

Watch what you wish for often

Take me back to Manchester

They never love you 'til you’re gone

But it’s really just as well

I’ll never mend this broken heart until I love myself

So tell me what you think about flowers

Blooming in a foreign garden

Chances are you’ve already forgotten

Chances are you’ve already lost them

Watch what you wish for often

Take me back to Manchester

Blooming in a foreign garden

Chances are you’ve already forgotten

Chances are you’ve already lost them

Watch what you wish for often

Take me back to Manchester
