Windy town - Chris Rea

Windy town
    ³

Driving home from the highland line
    ,
We done some gigs on the Clyde and the Tyne
    ...
They flew us in from a Hamburg strip
    ˳ ,
The taste of Dusseldorf still on our lips
    .
And on the bus there is a friend of mine
    , ...
We go way back to the scene of the crime
    , ,  
We sit up front and share a cigarette
    , ,
And try to remember what we tried to forget
    , .

He say "Do you remember?"
    ³ "'?.."
He say "Do you recall?"
    " ?.."
I say yeah I remember, oh, I remember it all
    , , ', , ' :
Every time that cold wind blows
    ,
Every time I hear that sound
    -
Late night trains shunting down by the river
    ...
I remember windy town
    ' .

We come so far and we move so fast
     , .
Making hay see it all go past
     , , , .
Round the world and round again
    
Up and down on that gravy train
     - " ".  
but every time that cold wind blows
     ⳺ ,
Every time I hear that sound
     -
The east coast cross winds on the cold wet stone
     ...
I remember windy town
     ' :

The freezing corners and the empty streets
    ,
The burning passion and the cold wet feet
    ,
Three tricky miles home every night
    ,
Dodging from the shadows underneath those amber light
    .

No car for kissing and nowhere to go
    , , ,
Except inside each other and I loved you so
    . .
I held your face as you shivered in the rain
    ,
     .

Girl I'll always love you and I'll love you again
     , , ,
Oh everytime, everytime
     , ...

Every time that cold wind blows
   ... ,
Every time I hear that sound
       -
Late night trains shunting down by the river
       ...
I remember oh windy town
       ' .

Every time that cold wind blows
     ,
Every time I hear that sound
     -
The east coast cross winds on the cold wet stone
     ...
I remember, I remember windy town
     ', ' !
