Song for a Friend Lyrics

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

Ray Wilson (born 8 September 1968 in Dumfries) is a Scottish rock singer who got his start in the grunge band Stiltskin; they released one album and had a number one hit in the UK with the single "Inside". He is the cousin of Ian Wilson, better known as Ian Catskilkin, of UK Indie band Art Brut.

In 1997, Wilson joined Genesis following the departure of former vocalist and drummer Phil Collins. Genesis went on hiatus after one album, Calling All Stations, and a tour with Wilson.

Wilson went on to record a solo project called Cut_, which he has described as sounding the way the next Genesis might have sounded had the band attempted a second album with him. The album Millionairhead was released under this name.

In 2003 he released a solo album under his own name titled Change. The next year he released another studio album entitled The Next Best Thing, which included a cover of "Inside". He is currently working on a second Stiltskin album.

DJ and trance producer Armin van Buuren has produced remixes of the songs "Another Day" (retitled "Yet Another Day") and "Gypsy" from Millionairhead. Both remixes have been released on van Buuren's own albums, and "Yet Another Day" was also released as a single.
