The Man In The Wings Lyrics - The Turn - Alison Moyet

It's my song and I sing for the man in the wings 

Is it strange when we never have shared anything? 

I don't ache for some tender exchange in the dark 

That will pass 

But the purest refrain will haunt us again 

And he has that with me 

When I've nothing to bring 

I sing for the man in the wings 

We won't speak, he won't ask me to follow him on 

And his name if I ever did know it is gone 

Back to back I can hear his pulse racing with mine 

Both in time

I'll be waiting for him before I begin each line 

And he won't mind 

That I've nothing to bring 

When I sing for the man in the wings 

And they tell me he walks alone 

It is said that he is stone 

Without knowing the shape of him 

I am certain they are wrong 

We'll meet in a different place 

Me, the man and the song 

I don't long for some fleeting exchange in the dark 

That will pass

But the purest refrain will haunt us again 

And he has that with me 

When we've nothing to bring 

I sing for the man in the wings
