Lyrics to The 39 Steps

Lyrics to the song The 39 Steps as recorded by Bryan Ferry.

   

(Ferry)

Where do we go from here
Your place or mine
What do you want from me
And is there time?

Where do we go from here
I wish I knew
Getting too hot to bear
Let’s keep it cool

Where do we go from here
I’m in the mood
Living on borrowed time
Let’s make a move

Don’t ask me why
My heart is breaking
Don’t get me wrong this time
Trouble in mind

I’m tired of wanting
Some other spring some time
Don’t ask me why
My heart is yearning
Don’t get me wrong this time
Trouble in mind
My heart is breaking
Some other spring some time.
