De Burgh, Chris - Sight And Touch Lyrics

One of my faves by him. Great to hear it again.

What a sweet feeling ....Chris is number one in all decades

My girl wakes in her bed of night,
Dressed in silver and dressed in white,
She says she's having the strangest dreams,
Of another time and century;

And now she speaks of a far-off place,
A woman and a man are in a deep embrace,
Don't they know it's against the law,
Well it must have been before the war,
Long before; it was

Real love and devotion - with sight and touch,
Real love and emotion - with sight and touch,
Real love and devotion, before the modern world;

She hears voices in her mind,
Talking of another world lost in time,
Before they took away the words,
That told us how we used to be,
Our history; words of

Real love and devotion - with sight and touch,
Real love and emotion - with sight and touch,
Real love and devotion, before the modern world;

And now we live in a two by four,
Never going outside through the door,
They're watching us on the videoline,
But we sit and wait until the night,
And in the night, we have

Sweet love and devotion - with sight and touch,
Real love and emotion - with sight and touch,
Sweet love and devotion, in such a modern world;

We're never going to be lonely - with sight and touch,
We're never going to be lonely - with sight and touch,
We're never going to be lonely in such a modern world...

Sorry ‘#Sight and touch”

Love and emotion

This is a delightment of a song, possibly my favourite song

I agree with you so much. I listened to Chris de Burgh almost exclusively for the entire 90s. It gave me strength to live. He is such a versatile singer and artist. God bless him and Ireland.

I liked Chris De Burgh when I was a teenager, and I was the only one at the time who did. Spanish Train got me into him. It wasn't Patricia even though I was an adolscent boy but "I'm Going Home"

Funny that we all had that feeling of being the only teen around that "dared" listening to Chris de Burgh. But you weren't . I guess that feeling comes from the fact that most of his songs on every album had something into them, the opposite of those one-hit wonder bands ! It also meant that even at that younger age, we were looking for some meaningful music and lyrics... He had both and wasn't playing the Hollywood stardomship which made him a true good artist. Nope, were more than we thought exploring his material, one track at a time. Sight and Touch wasn't a radio tune but it is interesting enough.

Incorrect wording and that is my fault. What I meant is that of the teenagers I knew I was the only one who listened to him. Obviously I can't talk about all teenagers in my area let alone in the country or the world.

Growing up in Ireland I listened to a lot of CDB. Some brilliant songs over his first 7 studio albums & great albums themselves - then he went all Lady in Red and I lost interest a bit after that. It's a pity that he wasn't really known/appreciated in mainland UK in his early days - a brilliant singer songwriter.

wow, so few viewer!!! sad; such a great tune!!!

i love this...!!!!!!!!!!!!
