about

I had wanted to record this song written by Peter Crossley, since singing backing vocals and playing accordion in his band Who's That Man? in the mid-1990s in Hertfordshire.

lyrics

1
Some you win, some you lose, some you steal some you choose
You just walk away with everything
Then the voice in your head, saying the things he said
Leaves you with nothing
And all the girls who taught me half the rules
I’m older now but ev’ry inch a fool
Calling out your name

Chorus
It’s a far, far cry from the devil to the sea
It’s a far, far cry from you loving me
It’s a far, far cry, wanna feel your loving arms around me
Can you hear me?

2
See your eyes crying tears, they must be drowning you
Keep your dreams here inside, they can’t take that from you
Be a winner with a losing streak
Be a loser with a smile
It’s over now you made that clear to see
So won’t you stay in these loving arms
for baby one more night, baby one more night

Chorus
It’s a far, far cry from the devil to the sea
It’s a far, far cry from you loving me
It’s a far, far cry, wanna feel your loving arms around me
Can you hear me calling you home?

Chorus
