Metroland — текст песни (Mark Knopfler)

Yearning we were yearning

Green light blinding on the rail

Burning we were burning

And the line unwinding to the holy grail

To the future gleaming on a blue horizon

And a golden girl on golden sand

Dreaming fantasizing

In another world from metroland



Ive danced in rain and Ive been django

And Ive got laid

Ive been a rolling stone

Ive been verlaine

And Ive been rimbaud

Not afraid to walk alone

And now I take my midnight ramble

Do I fold or play whats in my hand

Whats at stake and whats the gamble

Do I stay in metroland



Dreams yesterdays laughter

Ghosts and lovers come back to play

But dreams have a morning after

And run for cover

In the light of day

I got something real worth holding on to

I can belong to and understand

Ive made my deal

I will go on to

Make my peace with metroland
