Lyrics
VERSE: Nancy Nancy your father's in the corn
Nancy Nancy the autumn's coming on
Nancy Nancy your mother calls you in
Listen Nancy I'm coming back again
VERSE: Nancy Nancy I have a fine guitar
Nancy Nancy and I have a lucky star
Nancy Nancy soon you'll be nineteen
Listen Nancy 'cause it's later than it seems
BRIDGE: Since I was younger and I started dreaming
There's a voice inside my head
I heard it whisper There's no use believing
I must have listened to the words it said
But I saw a raven sitting in the wires
And it fell before it flew
The body hanging like a sad desire
Just before the wings came through
VERSE: Nancy Nancy I know that we'll get by
Nancy Nancy but I think that we can fly
VERSE: Nancy Nancy I've travelled from my home
Nancy Nancy where I used to be alone
I know Nancy the past is all behind
Listen Nancy you fill me up inside
VERSE: Nancy Nancy the city lights they shine
Nancy Nancy let's see what we can find
(Karl Williams)
