Net op de top 2000 chat ving ik het bericht op van het overlijden van Gerry Rafferty, voornamelijk bekend van Baker Street en City to City

Gerry Rafferty - Right Down The Line

You know I need your love
You've got that hold over me
Long as I've got your love
You know that I'll never leave
When I wanted you to share my life
I had no doubt in my mind
And it's been you woman
Right down the line

I know how much I lean on you
Only you can see
The changes that I've been through
Have left a mark on me
You've been as constant as a Northern Star
The brightest light that shines
It's been you woman right down the line

I just wanna say this is my way
Of tellin' you everything
I could never say before
Yeah this is my way of tellin' you
That every day I'm lovin' you so much more
'Cause you believed in me through my darkest night
Put somethin' better inside of me
You brought me into the light
Threw away all those crazy dreams
I put them all behind
And it was you woman
Right down the line

I just wanna say this is my way of tellin' you everything
I could never say before
Yeah this is my way of tellin' you
Everything I could never say before
Yeah this is my way of tellin' you
That every day I'm lovin' you so much more

If I should doubt myself, if I'm losing ground
I won't turn to someone else
They'd only let me down
When I wanted you to share my life
I had no doubt in my mind
And it's been you woman
Right down the line

Gerry Rafferty - The Tourist

Yes, it's back on the road again
I just got me some new found friends
And it's alright, yeah, it's alright

Flew away at the speed of sound
I threw up when we touched down
But I'm alright, I'll be alright

New York's bakin' in the sun
Got the news it just made number one
Here we go for one more memory
Way back here in the twentieth century

That night in Amsterdam
You saw me for what I am
And you found out
Yeah, you found me out

And I knew what I saw in you
And I still can't believe it's true
But I'll find out, I'm gonna find out

Meanwhile back down on Fifth Avenue
Raphael just bought some brand new shoes
Me, I'm wiped out, I'm dead on my feet
Come a long long way from Baker Street

I'm watchin' a night come down
And we're headin' for one more town
But it's alright, yeah it's alright

Who cares what the night might bring
Cause we're ready for anything
So it's alright, yeah, it's alright

Heading' out across the U.S.A.
California's still a long long way
Here we go for one more memory
Way back here in the twentieth century

Rest in peace Gerry


Gerry Rafferty - The Ark

See the dark night has come down on us
The world is livin' in its dream
But now we know that we can wake up from this sleep
And set out on the journey
Find a ship to take us on the way

The time has come to trust that guiding light
And leavin' all the rest behind
We'll take the road that leads down to the waterside
And set out on the journey
Find a ship to take us on the way

And we'll sail out on the water
Yes, we'll feel the sea grow
Yes, we'll meet out on the water
Where all strangers are known

If you travel blindly, if you fall
The truth is there to set you free
And when your heart can see just one thing in this life
We'll set out on the journey
Find a ship to take us on the way

And we'll sail out on the water
Yes, we'll feel the sea grow
Yes, we'll meet out on the water
Where all strangers are known

See the dark night has come down on us
The world is livin' in its dream
But now we know that we can wake up from this sleep
And set out on the journey
Find a ship to take us on the way

And we'll sail out on the water
Yes, we'll feel the sea grow
Yes, we'll meet out on the water
Where all strangers are known
