Runrig - The Message lyrics

I'm going to dance you round the floor Drink you under the tables Going to take that last flight home To Balivanich in the month of June Go racing up the south ford Turning midnight in the cars Waiting up late with the Greenock girls Single every song that made us You take your message to the waters And you watch the ripples flow Now somewhere out on the ocean It says Mary please don't go We're going to lie down on the gra** Your lipstick in the clover Going the marry Mary in the summertime The Atlantic round our shoulders Skies are dawning ound the Langa** Barpa Stopped off at the white bridge waters It's all crossroads lined with telegraph poles A rise of larksong fills the morning You take your message to the waters And you watch the ripples flow Now somewhere out on the 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 And when we've 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 Then we watched our lives disappear 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
