“Too Far From Home” from Blue Guitars - Album Number Nine - Celtic & Irish Blues

Blue Guitars is a Blues album released by Chris Rea on October 14, 2005 consisting of eleven CDs, one DVD and a full colour book, including paintings by the artist, liner notes and song lyrics.

The album is an ambitious project with the 137 songs recorded over the course of 1½ years with a work schedule - according to Chris Rea himself - of twelve hours a day, seven days a week.

Initially the project was inspired by Bill Wyman's "Blues Odyssey" and can be called an "odyssey" in its own right, for depicting a journey through the various epochs of Blues Music, starting at its African origins and finishing with modern-time Blues from the 60s and 70s.

Subsequently the eleven CDs are titled the following: "Beginnings", "Country Blues", "Louisiana & New Orleans", "Electric Memphis Blues", "Texas Blues", "Chicago Blues", "Blues Ballads", "Gospel Soul Blues & Motown", "Celtic & Irish Blues", "Latin Blues" and "60s & 70s".

Lyrics:

You may find me

Wherever you go

From New York City

Way out to Chicago

I'm the son of a restless sailor

Blessed with Irish bones

Sometimes I feel like

I'm too far from home

I will sing

And I will dance for you

Every land you go

You will always see

There'll be big stout glasses

Full to the white top

There'll be stories

And there'll be me

Across the wild sea

I've travelled far

Born to move on

Born to roam

But lately I've been feeling

Like I'm too far from home

Whatever happened

To the girl I loved

Oh I ask forgiveness

To the one above

There was a day I could have made it real fine

Something went wrong I forget

Too far down that line

Across the wild sea

Too far along down along that line

Across the wild sea

Born to roam

But lately I've been feeling

Like I'm too far from home.
