Lyrics Song for a Friend - Ray Wilson

If you look over there, that's where I was born
And if you close you eyes and visualise,
You'll see me kick a football down the road
I had a happy childhood, I always loved to dance
And all the boys would make a fool out of me
But the girls would take a chance
And it all feels like yesterday
It's amazing how the time just drift away
I love sea air

If you look over there, that's where my old ma worked
Every day at 5 am she'd get up
So that she could take care of us
There was never a day going by
Where we could not rely on our old mam
I can't imagine life without her,
I can't imagine now

She made everything perfect
She was just the best mam in the world
Don't you love sea air

Oh oh, oh oh oh

If you look over there, that's where i will die
I'll take this old chair of mine and drive into the sea
And all the fishes they will laugh at me
And seagulls they will snap at me
But I, aye, I will find my peace again
Oh I love the sea air
Oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh I love the sea air
