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

Wired To The Moon

Wired To The Moon

                       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

 

 

 

 

 

The Road To Hell

The Road To Hell

           Chris  Rea

Stood still on a highway
I saw a woman
By the side of the road
With a face that i knew like my own
Reflected in my window
Well she walked up to my quarterlight
And she bent down real slow
A fearful pressure paralysed me in my shadow
She said 'son what are you doing here
My fear for you has turned me in my grave'
I said 'mama i come to the valley of the rich
Myself to sell'
She said 'son this is the road to hell'

On your journey cross the wilderness
From the desert to the well
You have strayed upon the motorway to hell

 

Well I'm standing by the river
But the water doesn't flow
It boils with every poison you can think of
And I'm underneath the streetlight
But the light of joy I know
Scared beyond belief way down in the shadows
And the perverted fear of violence
Chokes the smile on every face
And common sense is ringing out the bell
This ain't no technological breakdown
Oh no, this is the road to hell

And all the roads jam up with credit
And there's nothing you can do
It's all just pieces of paper flying away from you
Oh look out world, take a good look
What comes down here
You must learn this lesson fast and learn it well
This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway
Oh no, this is the road
Said this is the road
This is the road to hell
