Lyrics Chris Rea - Do You Still Dream?

Lyrics Chris Rea - Do You Still Dream?

Do you still dream of summer nights
The endless roads between the distant lights
Do you still find yourself
On strange and long highways
Drifting into unknown phase

Do you still dream of summer days
The sunlight dancing on white rolling waves
The everlasting taste of innocent desire
The atom splitting of its fire

Do you still dream?

Do you see that tunnel showing any sign of light
Does fear still wake you in the night

Do you still dream?

Lyrics Chris Rea - Que Sera

Lyrics Chris Rea - Que Sera

There's a feathered cloud in an open sky
And the pale-tailed moon goes sailing by
This old engine housing's streaked with rain
And we're pushing down on them chains again
Friend we're like the wind that blows
Like the sea we come and go

And I'm not trying to tell you
How I think that it should be
I know deep down inside
We are yearning to be free
And you're only gonna think of No 1
So what am I to say
No matter what you do
We're always hurting anyway
Forever our hearts will be
Always running for what we see
By the strings of this old guitar
I swear, Que sera

And you're rolling down old runway ten
And the present becomes the past and then
Rotating through the driving rain
And you're way above those clouds again
And I'm not trying to tell you
How I think that it should be
I know deep down inside
We are yearning to be free
And you're only gonna think of No 1
So what am I to say
No matter what you do
We're always hurting anyway

Forever our hearts will be
Always running for what we see
By the strings of this old guitar
I swear, Que sera

Lyrics Chris Rea - Goodbye Little Columbus

Lyrics Chris Rea - Goodbye Little Columbus

The plane is waiting, you must to go
'Goodbye I'm gonna miss you'
And all the things you say at a leaving
Ah just turn your head and walk away

Goodbye little Columbus
Goodbye, I'll see you one day
Goodbye little Columbus
Travelling, just travelling

That certain moment, the final call
And that desperate search for 'C'est la vie'
Oh what you'd give to hear of a slight delay
Ah just turn your head and walk away
Walk away, just walk away

Goodbye little Columbus
Goodbye, I'll see you one day
Goodbye little Columbus
Travelling, just travelling
You've made up your mind
And you've got to go

Lyrics Chris Rea - Runaway

Lyrics Chris Rea - Runaway

Sitting at the crossways
Trying to keep my cool with the traffic lights
I've been up and down this line so any times
Girl, it's never right
Me and this machine keep the crazy urban dream
Locked in overflow
Sometimes I swear I could spin these old wheels
Just let it go

Runaway

Is it something that you hear
Coming through the waves on the radio
Or something that you see gently taps your memory
And shoots you down
Those hometown thoughts, school yard dreams and yesterdays
Moving in I just put my head down and drift away
And we're moving up and down, in and out of town
We're all searching for that piece of higher ground somewhere

Runaway

Lyrics Chris Rea - Seabird

Lyrics Chris Rea - Seabird

I can't run
In your eyes there's no place left to hide
You've seen my every mystery just show itself and die
So I will fly before you
And all is all to see

Take my hand, understand, there're no more foolish dreams
So many things we just can't share
Are standing in between
So I will fly before you
And all is all to see

I will always want you near in the shallow lights of day
No-one else will share my nights is all that I can say
And I will always want you
But I will always fly like a seabird

And I will always love you
But I will always fly

Lyrics Chris Rea - Give That Girl A Diamond

Lyrics Chris Rea - Give That Girl A Diamond

Time to get up
She shines her light where just before
There was only
A cold wind blowing
She understands what makes me smile
And lets me know that
Without showing
I need to tell her, need to show her
How deep she goes

Inside of me
She is the stone that breaks the hard shell
And rings out the loudest bell
With whispered words that scream out
All the peace in me

Give that girl a diamond
Yeah give that girl a diamond
And say it's from me
A blue reflected light
Way past the darkest place
My only private night
Of fearful dreams
She is stone that stabs my shield of steel
The peace that she makes me feel
With whispered words
I need to tell her
Need to show her
How deep she goes
Inside of me

Give that girl a diamond
Give that girl a diamond
And say it's from me

Lyrics Chris Rea - Last Open Road

Lyrics Chris Rea - Last Open Road

How fast can I run?
How far can I go?
These are the questions,
The young want to know
I met her in Brooklyn,
She was coming from a place
I said "where are you going to"?
She said "where have you been"?

'cause I'm trapped in here,
Set me free
I know your world let me see
Take me down that last open road
Take me down that last open road
Take me down that last open road

I know there is so much past
this place
I see it smile on your jagged,
ragged face
Something tells me,
something strong
There's a world I've heard of,
So before it's gone
Take me down that last open road
Take me down that last open road

Lyrics Chris Rea - The Things Lovers Should Do

Lyrics Chris Rea - The Things Lovers Should Do

Standing in the half light, wondering if you can
There stands the priest of sinners, consolation in his hands
Though he prays he won't need it, he keeps it by his side
Waiting for the face up and the answer in her eyes
All while the music's playing a backdrop serenade
There's only one point of view
To be doing the things, things that lovers should do

Disco-queens in dancestep, moving face to face
All tangled up in neon don't think it's some disgrace
The blue western denim, the east coats razor edge
The European fashion, the leathers and re-threads
All while the music's playing a backdrop serenade
There's only one point of view
To be doing the things, things that lovers should do

Lyrics Chris Rea - Marvin

Lyrics Chris Rea - Marvin

Oh Marvin,
Seems so long
But I still remember you
I would have given everything
If I could have talked to you
For just one small moment
In the quiet of the day
You took my pain away

Oh Marvin
The one who wanted,
The one that could not stay
With a flash of illusion
Oh the big one that got away
Just one small moment
In the quiet of the day
You took my pain away

Oh Marvin
Oh Marvin

Oh how we miss you
Oh how we wish somehow
I could hold onto your wings
And fly away
Because the pain you knew
Was the pain I knew too
Misunderstood like the
thorn of a rose
Before the summer came,
Your beauty washed away
Like pretty petals in the wind and rain

Lyrics Chris Rea - Touche D'Amour

Lyrics Chris Rea - Touche D'Amour

(3. 30)
Somewhere in this crazy night
With all this noise, and all this light
I'm out upon the crowded street
I play the game and I keep the beat
Woo-oo
But I'm thinking of you
Woo-oo
But I'm thinking of you
And I remember the summer days
Your strenght and yet your gentle ways
Now I'm back on the crowded street
Through the darker days I keep the beat
Woo-oo
But I'm thinking of you
Woo-oo
But I'm thinking of you
Through all the grey, I see skies of blue
I close my eyes cause I'm thinking of you
And I pray to god, that what we had
We will have again someday
So I telephoned to tell you what
I'd hoped you'd like to hear me say
Woo-oo
But I'm thinking of you
Woo-oo
But I'm thinking of you

Lyrics Chris Rea - Set Me Free

Lyrics Chris Rea - Set Me Free

Wake up see the morning light
This is you
This is today
You try so hard to get it right
Can't help thinking somewhere you lost your way
When was the last time
You saw a smile ?
There's a scream on every silent face you see
They're singing set me free

I got a friend
Who burns like a fire
Says there's only one thing you'll ever know
It's out there somewhere
Way out on the open road

And me I'm always looking down
Down that road out of town
Each morning and night
You can see me
I'm singing set me free
Set me free

Goodnight Auberge
I leave you now
You must sleep
While I work the day
Till I return
To dream of you
Through the night
And that free, freeway

Lyrics Chris Rea - Touch? D'amour

Lyrics Chris Rea - Touch? D'amour

Touche d'amour
Yours is a sunny day.
Of this I'm sure - blowing my clouds away.
Ijust don't know what this will do to me
I only want it to be
Touche d'amour
Touche d'amour
Yeah.
Touche d'amour
I'm sailing around the room.
Like never before could never have come too soon.
I want this dance to last forever
For it to last forever more.
Touche d'amour
Touche d'amour
Yeah.
I want this dance to last forever
For it to last forever more.
Touche d'amour
Touche d'amour
Touche d'amour
Touche d'amour
Oh.
Touche
Touche d'amour
Touche d'amour.

Lyrics Chris Rea - If You Choose To Go

Lyrics Chris Rea - If You Choose To Go

There's a street outside my window
There's a light outside my door
There's a road straight through this old town
There's a boat on every shore
There's a promise down that freeway
But there is no guarantee
There are dreams on every ocean
There are storms on every sea

If you choose to go

Now I've been out upon that ocean
Sometimes further that before
Sometimes not even past my waistline
And I screamed at what I saw
Many times along that freeway
Returning sometimes beat
There are dreams on every ocean
There are storms on every sea

If you choose to go

Plenty of places, plenty of things to see
Plenty of faces, plenty of ways to be

If you choose to go

Lyrics Chris Rea - King Of The Beach

Lyrics Chris Rea - King Of The Beach

Let your fighting scars heal in the sun
of a bright windy day
Let your cold blades sleep in the sand
till it's rusted away

Washed each night in the waves
while you sleep away each memory
And you wake to find yourself
a new king to be

Away from the dark
moving into the light
King of the shadows
gives up on the fight

He kicks of them shoes
throws them away
There's nobody here now
except this salty blue day

Out of sight
Out of reach
He's king of the beach

Whatever I was
well I'm not that now
I tell you because
it may help you somehow

So kick of them shoes
and throw them away
Cause there's nobody here now
except this salty blue day

Lyrics Chris Rea - Daytona

Lyrics Chris Rea - Daytona

Diamond dream when the sun don't shine
I close my eyes to see
Twelve wild horses in silver chains
Calling out to me

Oh Daytona, shine your light on me
Oh Daytona, shine your light on me

Now she ain't easy so you take good care
Or she will scream down on your lust
She can please you like no other
Or she can leave you eating dust

Oh Daytona, shine your light on me

Burning passion heat my day
Let me sit inside your wonder
Cloudless daydream, oh dance of dances
To have tamed the sound of thunder

Oh Daytona, shine your light on me
Oh Daytona, shine your light on me

Lyrics Chris Rea - Light Of Hope

Lyrics Chris Rea - Light Of Hope

This is the garden that I know
Ten thousand summers wait me here
You lead and I will follow
Your heart is mine tomorrow
Into your womb I fade away

And while she laughs
Your pride is turning into snow
And melting on the face of this light of hope
Shine on, light of hope
Light of hope

And while she laughs
Your pride is turning into snow
And dancing on the graves of what
You thought you used to know
And in this garden I will burn my callous robes
And forever love my darling
Light of hope

Lyrics Chris Rea - Let's Dance

Lyrics Chris Rea - Let's Dance

When you sing of the joy only love can bring
Heaven knows it's in my heart and my soul
We're caught in a world full of tears
So many bad times and fears
So while there's a chance and you're near

Let's dance
Let's dance

There's a world far away from the one we see
There's a dream I will never let go
One thing is certainly true
This moment's for me and for you
So while there's not a thing that we can do

Well, Let's dance
Let's dance

Lyrics Chris Rea - Out Of The Darkness

Lyrics Chris Rea - Out Of The Darkness

There's an empty street in an empty town
There's an old boutique selling ageing gowns
Some words on the walls that were written
By the light of the moon so bright

Can you hear me, can you her me tonight
Take me out of this darkness and in to the morning light

The rain that falls doesn't make me cry
And the wind that blows cannot hurt my eyes
But the things that I see when I turn on TV
Make me want to lie down and die

Can you hear me, can you her me tonight
Take me out of this darkness and in to the morning light
Can you hear me
Take me out of this darkness and in to the morning light

Lyrics Chris Rea - I Can Hear Your Heartbeat

Lyrics Chris Rea - I Can Hear Your Heartbeat

In the silence of the side street
In the whisper of the night
From the darkness of the empty hours
To the early morning light
From the hustle down on main street
With all it's lights so bright
To the trucker on the highway
Pressing through the night

I can hear you heartbeat
I can hear you heartbeat
Girl, the sound of you is so sweet
To me

And I'm sailing on your wind song
Oh, I can feel the summer breeze
You've got me walking on my tiptoes
You've got me standing on my knees
From the mills way down in Pittsburgh
To the clubs of gay Paris
Ah, no matter where I roam, girl,
You can always get to me (Yeah)

I can hear you heartbeat
Yeah, I can hear you heartbeat
Girl, the sound of you is so sweet
To me

We got freezing Coca-Cola
We got anything you want
I moving on that back beat
Girl, but it's you that sings the song

'Cause I can hear you heartbeat
I can hear you heartbeat
The sound of you is so sweet
To me

Oh I still hear your heartbeat
Yea I still hear your heartbeat
Girl, the sound of you is so sweet,
to me
