Shamrock Diaries Lyrics by Chris Rea

Shamrock Diaries Lyrics

    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 yesteryears is toughing you
    And as sure as god you'll fall
    And i see me and i see you
    I see it all just like it used to be
    And all the reasons why it started out
    Hit you hard with every bell
    The choir practice in the empty hall
    Is a sound that 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
    And i see me and i see you
    I see it all just like it used to be
    And i see me and i see you
    I see it all just like a diary

    Now i remember everything
    Yea i remember how it used to be
    With every note that choirboy sings
    And i see me and i see you
    I see it all just like it used to be
