Shamrock Diaries

Chris Rea

1. In waves of people you can lose your feet
   You’ve got to stay hard to the ground
   It gets so easy now to lose your way
   When you’re ever outward bound
   A church bell ringing in the fading light
   Stops you dead like a cold steel wall
   The ghost of yester-years is touching you
   And as sure as god you’ll fall
   
R1: And I see you
    And I see me
    I see it all
    Like it used to be


2. And all the reasons why you started out
   They hit you hard with every bell
   The choir practice in the empty hall
   Is a sound you know so well
   Like something lost inside your overcoat
   You find it later by mistake
   You lost it all a thousand years ago
   And you pray it’s not too late

R2: And I see you
    And I see me

R1: And I see you...

   Now I remember everything
   Yeah I remember how it used to be
   With every note that choir boy sings

R2: And I see you...
