Rea, Chris - Hello Friend Lyrics






Hello friend, where you been so long?
Time goes by, so easy it sleeps away
Just like a shadow at the end of the day

Hello friend, how are things for you these days?
Some guy from way-back-when, he mentioned your name
Did he ever get back to you?
Ah, you know I told him to

Sometimes I turn and I swear I hear you call
And I often wonder how we lost what we knew
Seems it gone in the wind, washed away in the rain
And the years go by and by

The bridges you burned, long sinced turned into ashes
When there were no reasons, now the river runs dry
Seems it gone in the wind, washed away in the rain
And the years go by and by
Where you been so long

  27. J.... T....

    lo que me gusta mucho de Chris es que en todas sus melodias hay un grado de melancolia y nostalgia, realmente melodias preciosas, tanto la musica como su voz, francamente te llegan a los que somos sensibles.

  28. E.... R....

    On the beach = 1986 ---is absolute top of Chris' career. Unique album, magnificant songs one better than other. Love it so much!!!

    Thank you Rea for writing your little gem of a song....
    Gracias Amigo

  32. D.... K....

    This song oozes as always Chris Rea's unique musical genius - just a pity the vocals are a little bit overwhelmed by the instrumentation - although his usual incomparable brilliant instrumental skills.

    D.... K....

    Peter manzana the boss hi

  33. T.... H....

    A beautiful song, so sad, but oh so true just like a shadow a the end of the day.

    Magic !

  38. L.... C....

    So happy to see a fellow South African enjoying Chris Rea 's music. Grew up on the East Rand, now live in Cape Town. Chris Rea has inspired me to accomplish something I did not think I coiuld ever do - write poetry. All the credit for this goes to him. I am in awe of his music and his endurance to accomplish what he set out to do.

  39. K.... K....

    Eish Lesego, sometimes they play it late at night on Motsweding or NW FM.
    try an online store. Song reminds me of my dad who passed on 3 weeks ago

  40. L.... K....
