Shamrock Diaries Lyrics - Chris Rea

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 yesteryear's 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
