[Lyric] Sending Messages (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 shadow in my mind they start to grow

My head is spinning round and round like watercoloured 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?
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
