Chris Rea - Freeway appears on the album “On The Beach“.
On the Beach is the eighth studio album by Chris Rea, released in 1986. It reached No. 11 in the UK Albums Chart.
The perfect album for a day at the beach, Rea’s eighth album takes the listener from the water’s edge of the title song to the sunny fields of the French countryside in “Giverny.“
The upbeat reggae feel of “Lucky Day“ works particularly well, but it is “On the Beach“ that’s the standout track.
Rea seems to think so, too, as he’s recorded it numerous times.
The version here, though, is the most evocative, a little slower and more meditative than others.
The lyrics, as in many of his songs, deal with remembrance and old love. “Little Blonde Plaits,“ “Hello Friend,“ and “It’s All Gone“ are other examples of this theme that appear on the album.
While his later release, The Road to Hell, shows the darker side of Rea’s worldview, On the Beach is an excellent introduction to his brighter, more optimistic songwriting. The last three songs are bonus tracks that were not on the original LP release, “Bless Them All“ being a smooth, fluid instrumental. ~ Rob Caldwell

She throws her hair into the February breeze
She hears it singing through the branches on the trees
A song of something she knows so well
And she’s still looking for a freeway
She hears the sound of distant planes across the night
She catch a fleeting glimpse of fading red tail lights
Into tomorrow she gently sleeps
And she’s still dreaming of a freeway
Far away, there’s a piece of luck somewhere
Shining like a star in the night
Dream on lady, till the early morning sun
Takes your dream to be free
Away.....
Её причёску треплет ветер февраля.
Что он поёт вверху там, ветви шевеля?
Та песня- так знакома, улетает в даль,
И она всё ищет, ищет магистраль.
И самолётов слышит она звук, что в небесах,
И стоп- сигналов красных блеск- в её глазах,
И в завтра, нежно так скользя, забыв печаль,
И она мечтает увидеть магистраль.
И где- то далеко кусок удачи твой-
Тот что блестит в ночи звездой.
Мечтай, пока рассвет не сменит ночь,
И о свободе та мечта умчится прочь.
