Chris Rea "Windy Town" lyrics

Windy Town

Driving home from the highland lineWe done some gigs on the Clyde and the TyneThey flew us in from a Hamburg stripThe taste of Düsseldorf still on our lipsAnd on the bus there is a friend of mineWe go way back to the scene of the crimeWe sit up front and share a cigaretteAnd try to remember what we tried to forget

He say "Do you remember?"He says "Do you recall?"I say yeah I remember, oh, I remember it allEvery time that cold wind blowsEvery time I hear that soundLate night trains shunting down by the riverI remember windy town

We come so far and we move so fastMaking hay see it all go pastRound the world and round againUp and down on that gravy trainbut every time that cold wind blowsEvery time I hear that soundThe east coast cross winds on the cold wet stoneI remember windy town

The freezing corners and the empty streetsThe burning passion and the cold wet feetThree tricky miles home every nightDodging from the shadows underneath those amber lightNo car for kissing and nowhere to goExcept inside each other and I loved you soI held your face as you shivered in the rainGirl I'll always love you and I'll love you againOh every time, every timeEvery time that cold wind blowsEvery time I hear that soundLate night trains shunting down by the riverI remember windy townEvery time that cold wind blowsEvery time I hear that soundThe east coast cross winds on the cold wet stoneI remember windy town
