Rafferty, Gerry - Clear Day Lyrics

I've still got the original by Rab Noakes that I bought in 70s. I'm sure Rab would agree that this is a much better version. This guy can do no wrong. He was an absolute genius. Gone too soon.❤

Not meant as a put down, has a jeff lynn feel to it. I like it.

Great song.

"Clear Day"

Wake up in the morning with the sunshine
Through my window and it's making me rise
Wake up in the morning with the sunshine
Through my window and it's filling my eyes
Wake up in the morning with the sunshine
Through my window you know it looks alright
It looks alright.

I may be tired but I'm laughing
In everything I see the things that you do
I may be tired but I'm laughing
In everything and I see you laughing too
I may be tired but I'm laughing
In everything you know it feels alright
It's alright.

I used to worry about just where I was going to
But today it is all clear.

Because the fog has lifted and I can see
Something better than I've seen before
Because the fog has lifted and I can see
Something better and it's opened my door
Because the fog has lifted and I can see
Something better and it's alright
It's alright.

I used to worry about just where I was going to
But today it is all clear.

I can feel something alive inside of me
Telling me where to put my feet
I can feel something alive inside of me
Telling me that it's nearly complete
I can feel something alive inside of me
Telling me it's gonna be alright
Alright.

Gerry's middle name was talent

Awesome - the whole "Over my head" - album is a treasure.

@keifer50 - Of course you are forgiven dear friend. Best wishes, Steve

@phivosify so sorry dear friend. I was listening to the music not ready your notes. Forgive me please....oh pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeee....dick

@keifer50 - Read the notes dear friend, already listed.

LOVE this song - so cheerful :-)

This really takes me back to my student days in Northern Ireland in the early 70s - that's when I was hearing Rab Noakes's version on the radio. This was very good but now hearing a version bearing Gerry's stamp very clearly is fantastic. Aussies for Gerry!!!

@phivosify - If it's Red Pump Special you're looking for there's one on ebay for £3 plus £3 p&p. If you're looking for Restless , it's on at £77.free p&p

@teragram1956 - You could be right about the hangover bit ! Yes I heard Rab's version first, but actually prefer this one. However, very pleased to see Branch uploaded, my favourite Rab song, just wish I still had the album. Thanks for taking time to comment, Steve

Listen to the lyrics. Makes me think he wrote this about not having a hangover, Rab Noakes does a great version of this song. Brilliant song all round

wow, never hear this song, its' brilliant indeed

With 'Wrong Thinking' love both these tracks.
