Rea, Chris - Windy Town Lyrics
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 sit up front and share a cigarette
And try to remember what we tried to forget
He say "Do you remember?"
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 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 windy town

una de mis activities se llama Drivintube. Es el intento dinámico del google street view en un espectro más amplio, sin ignorar otras posibles aplicaciones.
This is one of my favourites of Chris's songs , brings back great memories of days gone by , still Rocks today even after all these years, true proper music never dies it just gets better with age. Keep rocking Chris
Entièrement d'accord avec toi Peter West.Si Chris et Mark pouvaient jouer ensemble ce serait magique!!!!
All of your songs are so perfectly written from life !!!
Brilliant - thanks.
This doesn't look like Chicago to me
Видео супер! С замечательным голосом Криса Ри!

It's an Dream Street...Forever Free...Chris Great..
Why don't we have music like this nowadays, classic music from a classic singer.
e sempre attuale,non tramonta mai,le canzoni ascoltate 30 ani fa le risento con la stessa pasione di alora...sei mitico Cris Rea,,,,and always current the songs heard 30 years ago so I resent them with the same passion even today ... you're mythical Cris ..
Drivin' down from the Highland line
We done some gigs on the Clyde and the Tyne
They flew us in from the 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
We 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 train shunting down by the river
I remember windy town
We come so far and we move so fast
Makin' hay see it all go past
Around 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 cost crosswinds on a cold wet stone
I remember windy town
I seen it all before
The freezin' corners and the empty streets
The burnin' passion and the cold wet feet
Three tricky miles home every night
Dodgin' from the shadows underneath those amber lights
No car for kissin' and no where to go
'Cept inside each other and I love you so
I held your face as you shivered in the rain
Girl I'll always love you and I love you again
Every time
Yeah every time
Every time the cold wind blows
Every time I hear the sound
Late night train shunting down by the river
I remember windy town
Every time the cold wind blows
Every time I hear the sound
East cost crosswinds on a cold wet stone
I remember I remember windy town

hypnotic video which has no relevance to this great song but still good video
So good. So very good.
Love this song.Chris is the best.

Awesome
ДОРОГ У НАС МНОГО, ВЫБОР ЗА НАМИ..Я ОБОЖАЮ КРИС РИ... С УВ.ЛЮСЯ ЗЫКИНА
Could listen to this 100 times and never get sick of it. Cool stuff.
this guy is a legend and this song is so far king good. The lyrics are poignant and that guitar, it could be Mark Knopfler, there are similarities to his vocals, and the lyrics with Mark Knopler
Both brilliant artists. Mark Knopfler had played with many artists but I can't find any songs with Chris Rea.
@Charles Dyce http://www.oneverybootleg.nl/rogerscott.htm
I thought the same thing. He does sound like Mark knopfler.
I dunno, I like both of them, but Rea has more of a crackling in his voice, and is a bit softer. I like Rea's singing more, but Knopfler is extremely talented on the guitar. This song has a good guitar in it, but its not as complex as Knopfler's guitar parts. Its still an awesome song though
This version is different from the original version in *Dancing with Strangers*. This version is a little more punchy.
Love chris rea an awesome singer ever
Adoro conduzir a ouvir esta música alto. Bravo Chris rea, amazing.
All time favorite
" Blown Away " *****
My best

Kad bih već ušao u levu traku na ovakvom putu, teško da bi me neko obišao...
der clown 😁 série qui date mais toujours au top
this is my all-time favorite Chris rea song
He does magic with his music. It's not important if you know the windy town or not, he can make you believe in the beauty of this town. You can also reminisce about your own hometown and feel the nostalgia in this masterpiece.
And another wowsong from the man.
Having a Chris Rea moment, finding stuff I've never heard before, think I was too wrapped up in the Gothic mode back then lol but boy his music is pretty good 😊
What an absolute masterpiece, especially if compared to the contemporary shitty music. Glad that Mr. Rea has got Italian roots. God bless him and his art.
¡¡¡¡Pero qué bueno es éste hombre haciendo música!!!!
This Englund? Great Breat
thanks for the trip good feeling a beauty promenade 😉
I haven't listened to Chris Rea for a long time.....so glad I have as he's such a craftsman. Every song is pure perfection .....he was my 1st love....in my mind 😋💞
One of the most underated artists of all time..
Never truer words spoken about a musician my friend.
Chris Rea is shamefully underrated , a true talent.
Mazing Chris
Chris Rea make music worth listening to a lot.
Love all of Chrises music especially this one 😊😊
gitesss
Beautiful song ,excellent car-ride.
what.classic.great.song.great.voice.great.music.great.chris.rea.
может не Бог вас проклял а вы сами себя
Simply brilliant!
I think I like the film clip to this song as much as I like the actual song.Does anyone know where it's filmed? Cosentino, Perth, West Australia 18/6/16
Maybe Europe somewhere!! Arrigato guzamus. Coso
Coso Cos, greetings from Brisbane. I have identified the bridge at about 1:40. it is the "Odawara Blue Way Bridge" across the fishing-boat harbour at Odawara - which is about 80km south-west of Tokyo, straight through Kanagawa if you were on the Shinkansen (the line is just out of sight to the right shortly before you cross that cable-stayed bridge).
As to the other locations (tunnels, etc) - I'm guessing they're a composition from footage taken in the same area.
UPDATE: I found the tunnels! They are on the same road but some 10km closer to Yokohama at Kotsubo (small resort). Two tunnels edited to seem like one.
Later in the sequence the landscape looks distinctly like the road sequence he uses in "Curse of the Traveler" - which was shot another 80km further to the SW; from Yumigahama Beach to Cape Iroksaki. Beautiful landscapes.
Awesome. I wonder why he chose Japan for the video?
Another video I like. often wonder where the film was taken
It is Japan
Боже мой, Боже. Никогда мне не проехать по такой дороге. Никогда мне не жить в такой стране. За что же Бог проклял Украину ? А голос - просто чудо-чУдное.
Величанствено :)
I feel like i'm flying listening and watching this. so good my friend. so good.
I was worried back in 2015 I'd heard all the good chris rea songs, I was completely wrong this is awesome!
Genious
Said do you remember. I remember this 1, my mum hoovering the house wit this cd that she stole from my dad
+den dan normally i'd say theft is unnaceptable
but when it comes to listening to chris rea ANYTHING goes!!!
I never get tired of this song it's a pure classic.
indeed it is
Sadely all gone with the tsunami. We'll always remember the islands that used to be called Japan.
Adel Houdrouge. 👍👍👍Great song from a Great musician.
Chris Rea is amazing!!!
It is the maximum.
I also have ideas, need is more time to be able to share.
i dont like chris rea songs i like rod stewart 199999 0% better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This footage works so well with this track.
Thanks for posting
西湘から伊豆ですかね(^-^)/
The best song of the best artist.
Looking for the summer and Windy Town - his best.
Creación de éste gran compositor y una de mis favoritas
Well done Alex that turned out well.
Wonderful trip on a Japan motorway accompanied with the
powerful music of a great Chris Rea.
@Juergen Strauss Music and video are amazing!!!

@Dippers85 Japan!

Chris Rea for President :-)
i love his videos, the driving
Middlesbrough the town he,s singing about
@VakP79
@VakP79 yes it is but thats not uk country side hes singing about its about northern town and that is stockton on tees
across the river we love him to
+John Buckley I live in Holland but my dad lived in Stockton on Tees when he was a young lad. He lived in Norton so i have been in Stockton lot,s of times when i was younger. Still proud off my english roots.
The end of this song has always annoyed me. The song is brilliant and always seems to be heading to a brilliant finish. The reality is that it just fades away. I would love Chris to have another look at Windy Town, and make it the classic it deserves to be
jerry donahue plays the lead on the album the telemaster ...wont get much better than the album version ..im abig rea fan .. but horses for courses...
Have to agree with TheDockerfan...absolutely remarkable!
