lirik lagu linger on – two gallants
step out to clutch the evening air
distraction from your disrepair
and all of those who say they know
and walk the bal-strade till dawn
you won’t blink and you won’t yawn
never let your weakness show
and though i keep your picture on the wall
unplug the phone in case you call
dust collects upon the sill
and still you misplace all your faith in words
as though you’ll ever feel -ssured
if you don’t know, you never will
but no i never meant you any harm
suffocating shelter of your arms
and if i let you down, it
wasn’t me, but you who kept me ’round
linger on, linger on
and while your tears fall down his cheek
for the fallen, small and meek
look what the invalids compose
well he should’ve warned you from the start
another callus on the heart
another victim of the throes
and me, i’m in the company of thieves
they get their word in, then they leave
such a false affair
but who am i to claim such moral highs
and though my judgement on the night
as though i’m so aware
no i never meant you any harm
suffocating shelter of your arms
and if you should feel betrayed
it wasn’t me, but you who made me stay
linger on, linger on
well i’ll take your convalescent dreams
patch the wounds and sew the seams
get you ready for the fall
but should you miss me when i’m gone
girl your memory serves you wrong
you never needed me at all
but you can miss the hollow of my hand
and all the lives that we had planned
and all the jealousies you sowed
and i’ll take back the youth you can’t repay
all the hours i gave away
and all the lies i never told
and no i never meant you any harm
suffocating shelter of your arms
and if i did you wrong
it wasn’t me, but you who wrote this song
linger on, linger on
