Chris Rea - Long Is The Time, Hard Is The Road

Chris Rea’s album from 2004, The Blue Jukebox Long Is The Time, Hard Is The Road Big old snake of red tail-lights Looking for a drain Pretty red like diamonds bright Become your ball and chain If you ever reach the other side It will never be this way They tie you down with your own high hopes You’d better listen to what I say Long is the time and hard is the road Everybody looking for a place To put down their heavy load Fat cat screaming up above ’Cos he don’t get no second chance He’s passing down his wreckless fear He kick your chains and make you dance Dance around his daydream till he gets to fly away You find a dagger in your back, You’d better listen what I say Long is the time and hard is the road Everybody looking for a place to put down their heavy load Long is the time and hard is the road...
