Mark Knopfler - Beachcombing

Tekst :

(feat. Emmylou Harris)

They say there s wreckage washing up
all along the coast
no-one seems to know too much
or who got hit the most
nothing has been spoken
there s not a lot to see
but something has been broken
that s how it feels to me

we had a harmony
i never meant to spoil
now it s lying in the water
like a slick of oil
the tide is running out to sea
under a darkening sky
the night is falling down on me
and im thinking that i should

head on home
been gone too long
leave my roaming
beachcombing

little wild kitten out hunting
to see what he can get
you re in a big city now
that won t stop growing yet
the sun is going down smoking
a flaming testament
something has been broken
and it feels permanent

little seabird flying
he knows where he wants to go
guess i ought to pack my stuff
and do the thing i know
i turn around and head on back
along the old sea wall
i felt something give and crack
and now i m sorry thats all

head on home
been gone too long
leave my roaming
beachcombing

Inne utwory

  • The fish and the bird
  • Yakety axe
  • Wanderlust
  • The fizzy and the still
  • This is us
  • Golden heart
  • Heart full of holes
  • Donkey town
  • Behind with the rent
  • Red staggerwing
  • All the roadrunning
  • A place where we used to live
  • Prairie wedding
  • The last laugh
  • Marbletown
  • Right now
  • Losowe utwory

    Hear a sound of a heart breaking

    Not a dry eye in the house
    After love s curtain comes down
    Listen an you ll hear the sound
    Hear the sound of a heart breaking...
    I can still see you standin there
    Midnight wind blowin through your hair remember
    Kisses sweet in...

    Mówili na nią słońce

    Czy pamiętasz - jak żeśmy czekali
    Jedenascie wyblakłych miesięcy
    Na ten pierwszy niebieski plusk fali
    I na mewy tańczace na wietrze..

    Czy pamiętasz - jak spiewały plaże
    Niespokojnym gitarowym graniem
    Jak jej ciała z kalendarza marzeń
    Uczyliśmy się - bracie na pamięć

    The dream

    Can t believe
    Out of time
    Look down, but I m afraid to fall

    Solitude
    On sleeping sand
    That voice is taking me away

    And I feel I m floating downstream
    Emptiness
    Just like I ve never been born

    Days of

    It was one of those days
    of salvation and loss
    just one of those days
    when you weight for the worst
    first they hold you for a ransom
    then they buy you for a song
    just one of those days
    when you laugh at what you ve done
    how they ripped you from the pages
    oh you waited for...

    Olympic dreams

    No day before
    So full of deep devotion
    And in my heart
    I feel a strong emotion
    Olympic fire
    Wakes my desire
    To join in the games of the world

    So far away
    The days of pain and sorrow
    Enjoy...
