"Windy Town" lyrics

"Windy Town"

Driving down from the Highland Line
We'd done some gigs on the Clyde of the Tyne
They flew us in from a Hamburg strip
The taste of Dusseldorf still on our lips
And on the bus, there's a friend of mine
We go way back to the scene of the crime
Sit up front and share a cigarette
And try to remember what we tried to forget

He said, "Do you remember?"
He said, "Do you recall?"
I said, "Yeah, I remember
Oh, I remember it all"

Every time the cold wind blows
Every time I hear the sound
Late-night trains
Shuntin' down by the river
I remember Windy Town

We've come so far and we moved so fast
Makin' haste, see it all grow past
'Round the world and around again
Up and down on that gravy train

Every time the cold wind blows
Every time I hear the sound
East Coast crosswinds
On the cold wet stone
I remember Windy Town

I've seen it all before

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 the overlights
No card for kissin' and nowhere to go
'Cept inside each other and I love you so
I held your face as you shivered in the rain
Girl, I'll love you again, oh every time, yeah every time

Every time the cold wind blows
Every time I hear the sound
Late-night trains
Shuntin' down by the river
I remember Windy Town
Every time the cold wind blows
Every time I hear the sound
East coast crosswinds
On the cold wet stone
I remember Windy Town

There it goes, there it goes
Windy Town
