One Fine Day - Chris Rea

She's standing by the waterside, she's waiting for her man

On the evening wind, she hears the whistle blow

It's coming from the factory, she hears it every day

Her soft cheeks flush, he's on his way

They're going where the sun is shining

They're going for that silver lining

They're gonna work and make it pay

And she say 'mmm, well, one fine day

Spread those wings, fly away'

Now I don't lie, no, cold wind and rain

Gonna sail away one fine day

Now hope, it springs eternally

At least that's what they say

Boy, it gets hard to feel that way

When he sees his little darling hide

The tear with a smile

he say 'come here baby, now don't you cry'
