Status Quo - A Year Lyrics






Standing by the wayside, begging for a ride
I been waiting so long, a year has gone
Look at all the people, strangers every one
I've been looking so long, a year has gone

You were all I lived for, I guess my life is through
I've been living so long, I can't go on
Lonely Sunday morning, rest in peace, my love
You been sleeping so long, a year has gone

How could I ever start to tell you
The end is almost here?
The song of love is ringing in my ears
Playing loud, playing clear
The song will never change
The memory will always be so near

Standing by the wayside, begging for a ride
I been waiting so long, a year has gone

    Je me souviens toujours de ce disque, presque de l'épaisseur du carton, de la pub collée dessus, des morceaux, j'adore ce disque!

  10. H.... H....

    In my chair was my first introduction to Status Quo. Then folloed Unspoken Words and A Year and I was hooked for life.

  11. m.... j....

    one f my top 3 favourite quo songs and second favourite Ballard🎸🎸🎸 🎸🎸

  12. j.... v....

    Yup, quite beautiful - sung by Rossi, but written by Alan Lancaster, which is perhaps why we didn't hear it on the accoustic album - a pity if so, would have worked well imo.

  13. G.... A....

    Capolavoro assoluto

    G.... A....

    top work yes

  14. H.... G....

    Classic! Great lead solo.

    H.... G....

    The intro sound like babe i'm gonna leave you from Led Zeppelin ;)

    H.... G....

    Don't know that song, but ripping off other peoples music is notorious. Must listen to the Zep song to compare.

  15. B.... x....

    I want this played at my cremation ,wont be long if I have my way ,so many memories so much hurt and loss ,I cant go on .....

    B.... x....

    @Toony B God bless you for your kind words x

    B.... x....

    @Toony B thanks but I dont have anyone who truely cares for me x

    B.... x....

    @Bambi xYou have to open up and let people in. If you feel you can't do it for yourself then do it for the friends and family and others who know you, who probably care about you more than you realise. If you're in despair then you have to ask for help sweetheart. Don't ever be too afraid to ask because you're worth it. Despair is the enemy of love. It's the enemy of everything that is beautiful in this world and you are beautiful. How do I know? I know because in all the universe there is only one of you. That's how special you are. Look up to the sky at night and look at the thousands of stars. It's like having a glimpse of heaven, one of the most beautiful sights in all creation. Well I tell you, you are more precious than any one of them. Be strong angel. Don't give up. Ask for that help you need and know that you are very much loved x

    B.... x....

    @Toony B I have lived many horrendous lives ,far too damaged to survive but I wont do anything by my own hands , life has now decided that for me <3

    B.... x....

    @Bambi x What Toony B says is right! Don't give up. We all love you

    Brings tears to my eyes, beautiful.

  26. C.... M....

    An old favourite.

  27. e.... ....

    The softer side of Quo's classic line up of Rossi, Parfitt, Lancaster & Coghlan. One of my favourites, alongside Unspoken Words, Roll Over Lay Down, Roadhouse Blues, Oh Baby, Gerdundula, In My Chair and Don't Drive My Car. Never went much on the later diluted Quo commercial 'fairground music'.

    Couldn't agree with you more, Mike.  Top memories.
