You Must Be From Away

Roger Chapman and Streetwalker in May 1975

40 years on and it hasn’t lost a thing…

Well, I know that you’re lonely
Come in from the cold
Your shoes may need mending
Your clothes may look old
Won’t you pick up your pieces
It’s never too late
Though it’s never early to make a mistake
As soon as you wait

Although there’s been rain
Is coming again
Changes to be here obviously
Though my friend the sun
Is well on the run
It’s there in the distance
If you care to see

I know that you’re waiting
Come out from your shell
There’ll come a time when you remember it well
Take all the good times from chances you had
Chances you’ll make
Of what you learned from the bad
It’s never so sad

Although there’s been rain
Is coming again
Changes to be here obviously
Though my friend the sun
Is well on the run
It’s there in the distance
If you care to see

[Harmonica solo]

Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

If season we’re reason
Then there’ll be no doubt
The sequel of chances were putting you out
But at the question of whether were you’re alive
And see yourself looking straight in his eyes
Don’t you realize?

Although there’s been rain (been rain)
Is coming again (coming again)
Changes to be here obviously
Though my friend the sun (the sun)
Is well on the run (well on the run)
It’s there in the distance
If you care to see
