Sweet September, I remember
Eyes of August deepest blue
While the lazy town was sleeping
Strangest love that I ever knew
Feel the wind blow, see the shadows
Kiss the breeze of a sudden shore
Of my life's loves and fascinations
The only one who left me wanting more
Little blonde plaits
Drink to you love, drink to me love
Sun burned feet on a dusty track
Evening waves that turned in twilight
Caught forever those little blonde plaits
Chris Rea
You must live
What you really love
You must be
Only what you're dreaming of
Like a bird
Rising through the sky
You are only
Only to fly
When you hear the sound you love
Do you turn and wlk away
Is it something you are frightened of
Are you scared what it may say
You must run you cannot hide
It's only what you really feel
It calls to you from deep inside
You've got to know this dream is real
Only to fly
Only to fly
Only to fly
You must live what you really love
You must be only what you're dreaming of
Like a bird rising through the sky
You are only
Only to fly
Only to fly

Josephine
Chris Rea
There's rain on my window
But I'm thinking of you
Tears on my pillow
But I will come through
Josephine, I'll send you all my love
And every single step that I'll take
I'll take for you
My,Josephine
There's a storm on my radar
But I can still fly
Oh,and you are the reason
The blue in my sky
Josephine
A life without meaning
I was walking away
In the coldest of winters
Night becomes a day
Josephine, I'll send you all my love,
And every single step that I'll take
I'll take for you
My,Josephine, I'll send you all my love, babe
Josephine, I'll send you all my love, babe
---and when I'm far away (oh, so far away)
I'll send you all my love
(bridge)
(chorus):
---- ...... I'll send you all my love
(Rea):
......Josephine...
---- ......I'll send you all my love
(Chorus):
---- ......I'll send you all my love
Chris Rea
Sleep tonight little girl
Go right in through
No-one can wake you now
You're falling through your dreams
Sliding down every beam
'Cos you don't know how
Don't know how to hurt
Don't know how to lie
You just don't know how to do it
You couldn't if you tried
'Cos you're wired to the moon
You innocent light
Will be shadows too soon
Sleep little angel
Stay wired to the moon
Faraway in the night
I saw my mother
She was looking at you
She said to me "My son
Don't you wake that little girl
Though I know you're wanting to
'Cos you're wanting to laugh
And you're wanting to play
Leave her in sweet dreams
She may lose them one day
Keep her wired to the moon"
Like a girl I once knew
She was once happy too
Sleep little angel
Stay wired to the moon

Rain!
Tears of joy,
Tears of pain.
Is this really me standing here at the station?
The card said I mustn't be late,
I've never been late,
I've never really had the chance,
Years and years,
And not even wanted a second dance...
Look for a Raincoat and a Rose!
Well, I hope no one sees,
They'll laugh I know,
He was always like that!
Yes, it always showed!
Did I do something wrong to have to pay in many more ways than one?
Rainy day? What do I say? How simple it's all become!
Love is for fools, and fools have no grace,
Damn them while you can!
Out here on the Fens..., It's such a lonely place!
I wish I was foolish now,
The greatest of pain is never really knowing,
Maybe, today, I'll find out this way; the way that I'm going...
Look for a Raincoat and a Rose!
Long is the Time Hard is the Road
Chris Rea
Bagel, snake, a red tail, lights
Looking for a drain
Pretty red like diamond bride
Become your ball and chain
If you ever reach the other side
It will never be this way
They tie you down with your own high hopes
You better listen what I say
Long is the time and hard is the road
Everybody looking for a place
To put down their heavy load, yeah
Fat cat screaming up above
Coz he don't get no second chance
He's passing down his reckless fear
He kick your chains
And make you dance
Dance around his daydream
Till he gets to fly away
You find a dagger in your back
You better listen what I say
Long is the time, and hard is the road
Everybody looking for a place
To put down their heavy load
Oh, long is the time
And hard is the road (hard is the road)
Oh, long is the time
And hard is the road
Everybody looking for a place
To put down their heavy load
Long is the time
And hard is the road
Gone fishing
------Chris Rea
I'm gone fishing
I got me a line
Nothing I do is gonna make the difference
So I'm taking the time
And you ain't never gonna be happy
Anyhow, anyway
So I'm gone fishing
And I'm going today
I'm gone fishing
Sounds crazy I know
I know nothing about fishing
But just watch me go
And when my time has come
I will look back and see
Peace on the shoreline
That could have been me
You can waste a whole lifetime
Trying to be
What you think is expected of you
But you'll never be free
May as well go fishing
Auf immer und ewig
------Chris Rea
No sunny day, no sky of blue
Just a pale moon on the wings of the wind
No diamond rings, no pretty dreams
Two people caught in chains of each other
And there was no other way
This was how it was to be
The flame will haunt you constantly
There'll never be a day
Auf immer und ewig?
Auf immer und ewig?
CHRIS REA BECAUSE OF YOU
Because of you
------Chris Rea
I used to hang my head down low
Never knowing which way I was going
My life was getting close to the edge
And I knew that it was showing
Because of you
I can stand and hold my head up high
Because of you
I feel free and yet I don't know why
Each morning is a spring time song
With the sun up in the sky
The sadness that is on your face
Helped me to realise
I owe each day I have to you
And I'll pay you back some day
You're reading me like a book
But I really would like to say
Because of you
I can stand and hold my head up high
Because of you
I feel free and yet I don't know why
Yes I do, it's you
And I'll pay you back some day
Because of you
I have finally found my way
Chris Rea
I do not sleep tonight
I may not ever
The sins of the past have come
See how they sit down together
Outside my window
Outside my door
And I know the reason what they've all come here for
You my love
My sweet, sweet love
Are what it's all because of
Surrender is easy
I know you do me no harm
But your innocence haunts me
The most fatal of charms
Oh I must have done some wrong
On a dark and distant day
For I know full and well tonight
This is how that I must pay
And you my love
My sweet, sweet love
Are what it's all because of
You my love
My sweet, sweet love
Are what it's all because of
