Sending Messages Songtext
von Sally Oldfield

The telegram is waiting as we cross into the sun
I hear it′s distant warning tell me someone's on the run
And suddenly you′re leaving for somewhere you don't know
The shadows in my mind start to grow

My head is spinning round and round like water-colored dreams
The sound of distant voices, but you don't know what they mean
And will I find my way out when every door is closed?
Oh, I don′t want to dress in black, oh no

I′m sending messages to distant shores I've seen
Looking for another way back home
I′m sending out a call while we're apart
Crossing every country
Keeping us together heart-to-heart


I know I′ve stained the pages of the past behind me now
A million memories inside, but who can tear them out
Oh how was this invented, was I part of one big plan?
Suddenly, I'm reaching for your hand

I′m sending messages to distant shores I've seen
Looking for another way back home
I'm sending out a call while we′re apart
Crossing every country
Keeping us together heart-to-heart

Looking for another way back home

I′m sending messages to distant shores I've seen
Looking for another way back home
I′m sending out a call while we're apart
Crossing every country
Keeping us together heart-to-heart

I′m sending messages to distant shores I've seen
Looking for another way back home
I′m sending out a call while we're apart
Crossing every country
Keeping us together heart-to-heart


I'm sending messages to distant shores I′ve seen
