lyrics

SYMPATHISER (A night home in Manchester) -
Dreamgirl and the Motorist
(c) and (p) Dreamgirl and the Motorist 2004

I'm walking down the lane
It's so dark and silent
I know that I shouldn't go
But you say to me
"Please take me home,
I don't think I can make it alone"
"I can't make it alone"

This could be the stupidest thing
We've done in our lives
We may not make it out alive
But we've been taught to sympathise
So we'll just go on and on and on

We're walking down the lane
Looking at each other and both ways
You hold on tight as you say
"Don't be afraid, it will be alright.
I promise you that you'll make it home tonight"
"You'll make it home tonight"

This could be the stupidest thing
We've done in our lives
We may not make it out alive
But we've been taught to sympathise
So we'll just go on and on and on

We reach the end of the lane
Your keys open the door and it swings away
We look each other in the eye
We don't say a thing
And take her inside
She cries "Don't leave!"
As we run for our lives!
Back down the lane
Back from where we came

This could be the stupidest thing
We've done in our lives
We may not make it out alive
But we've been taught to sympathise
So we'll just go on and on and on
