Lyrics
From lamp-lit streets that glisten to sunlight and the shade,
From coal fires and doors that whistle, to gin and lemonade,
wild-eyed hearts play skiffle, powder and the blade,
and whole streets lean to listen to a silent serenade
it's a far cry from you to me, a far cry from you to me, a far cry from you to me, a far cry, a far cry, a far cry from you to me, eyes wide but for all I see, a far cry, a far cry.
let it go
A wrong track one way system circling a lie,
salvation on commission, conditions may apply,
A long road my intentions, heaven how I try,
right now my one ambition; to live before I die.
it's a far cry from you to me, (gonna find my way back home) a far cry from you to me, a far cry from you to me, a far cry, a far cry, eyes wide but for all I see, a far cry, a far cry.
Ohh Ohh Ohh, oh oh oh
claw back my resistance to swim against the tide,
if I've failed on my mission at least I will have tried,
A far cry, a far cry, a far cry, a far cry,
can't make it on my own
a far cry from you to me, a far cry a far cry,
I'll find my way back home
a far cry, a far cry, a far cry, a far cry.
