We Were Raised Under Grey Skies - JP Cooper

Sitting out in warm winds, flecks of sun painted on the sea You smiled and looked down when I told you, "It ain't bad to be me" Give me moonlight, and a smile from you that I can That I can barely believe Baby, those plans are grand but you don't mean to say When they ask you who you're living for, you'll drop my name And then, I found a new courage That kills cowards I've been holding in It took us back to times when real men were real men Let me tell you, no one ever got my soul right like she could, yeah Amongst artists in heartlessness, dealing in darknesses I know, I know One time nobody ever got my soul right like she could, yeah Now, I'm close to what I'm needing Now, I'm close to what I'm needing One by one, we made it up over that hill One by one, they picked us off, laughing still Let me know, let me know when I've got room to run Let me know, let me know when that fool Is cleaning his gun and I- Let me tell you, no one ever got my soul right like she could, yeah Amongst artists in heartlessness, dealing in darknesses I know, I know One time nobody ever got my soul right like she could, yeah Now, I'm close to what I'm needing And I hold on to your heart And I keep on coming round, falling down this part And I'll only grow lonely, my darling, when the silence starts Let me tell you, no one ever got my soul right like she could Give my heart, play my part in this deal with the darknesses I know, I know One time nobody ever got my soul right like she could, yeah Now I'm close to what I'm needing Now I'm close to what I'm needing

We were like Bare feet and blue eyes on the boardwalk We were counting the stars and the days 'til you had to go Since then nobody ever made my heart stop Just like you did when we let that summer glow 'Cause we were like fire Summer breeze, '70s, all-nighter Let the beach be the background choir Singing like oh-oh-oh-oh-oh We were like a movie Said, "I looked too good in that two-piece" And for those three months you knew me Remember those, remember those nights? We were like Slow dance, romance, sundress, sunshine Your name, cool rain, so good 'til goodbye We were like Yeah, we were like (oh-oh, oh-oh) But we were like fire Summer breeze, '70s, all-nighter Let the beach be the background choir Singing oh-oh-oh-oh-oh We were like a movie Said, "I looked too good in that two-piece" And for those three months you knew me Remember those, remember those nights?

One day soon, it's gonna happen just by chance You and I will just succumb to this romance On that day my love will find you And you'll discover what a wonder life can be And you will know how much I love you If we were lovers If we were more than just good friends I know how good it could be Just by the way you're looking at me As if we were lovers, if we were lovers I've waited so long for that day I think you feel the same way You try so hard not to give it away Afraid that I'll discover What in your heart you know, is meant to be Darlin' if you want it to be me To be the one to say, I want you Then I'm telling you now Gonna find a way somehow, to be your lover And spend the whole night making love Then find it's never enough Just think what we are giving up Every day that we're not lovers Few times in our lives can we feel this way It would be a shame just to throw it away Time is slipping by, we don't know what's ahead I don't want to look back and have any regrets One day soon, it's gonna happen just by chance You and I will just succumb to this romance On that day my love will find you And you'll discover what a wonder life can be And you will know how much I love you On that day my love will find you And you'll discover what a wonder life can be And you will know how much I love you How much I love you

We used to never say never Used to think we live for ever Flying free beneath the sun Days go running and hiding The weeks are going slippy and sliding Years leave quicker everytime they come Remember when we were young Look back to the best days Collecting all yesterdays As they built up one by one How we beg and we borrow Say we do it tomorrow But tomorrow never seems to come We used to never say never Used to think we live for ever Flying free beneath the sun Days go running and hiding The weeks are going slippy and sliding Years leave quicker everytime they come Remember when we were young And we were boys on the beach Everything was in reach I know it's hard to remember And all had the years they vanish I always wanted to learn Spanish And travel round South-America We used to never say never Used to think we live for ever Flying free beneath the sun Days go running and hiding The weeks are going slippy and sliding Years leave quicker everytime they come Remember when we were young
