Telegraph Road (Live) - Mark Knopfler |
| [00:03.27] |
|
| [01:47.68] |
A long time ago came a man on a track |
| [01:51.38] |
|
| [01:52.08] |
Walking thirty miles with a sack on his back |
| [01:55.20] |
|
| [01:56.10] |
And he put down his load where he thought it was the best |
| [01:59.50] |
|
| [02:00.97] |
He made a home in the wilderness |
| [02:03.68] |
|
| [02:07.13] |
He built a cabin and a winter store |
| [02:09.55] |
|
| [02:10.61] |
And he ploughed up the ground by the cold lake shore |
| [02:14.03] |
|
| [02:15.48] |
And the other travellers came walking down the track |
| [02:18.29] |
|
| [02:19.03] |
And they never went further and they never went back |
| [02:22.44] |
|
| [02:26.00] |
Then came the churches then came the schools |
| [02:28.98] |
|
| [02:29.77] |
Then came the lawyers then came the rules |
| [02:33.04] |
|
| [02:33.89] |
Then came the trains and the trucks with their loads |
| [02:37.33] |
|
| [02:37.96] |
And the dirty old track was the telegraph road |
| [02:42.43] |
|
| [03:07.67] |
Then came the mines then came the ore |
| [03:11.25] |
Then there was the hard times then there was a war |
| [03:14.83] |
|
| [03:15.43] |
Telegraph sang a song about the world outside |
| [03:18.91] |
|
| [03:19.61] |
Telegraph road got so deep and so wide |
| [03:24.30] |
|
| [03:25.38] |
Like a rolling river |
| [03:26.69] |
|
| [04:17.59] |
And my radio says tonight it's gonna freeze |
| [04:21.66] |
|
| [04:22.50] |
People driving home from the factories |
| [04:25.95] |
There's six lanes of traffic |
| [04:28.75] |
|
| [04:30.38] |
Three lanes moving slow |
| [04:33.88] |
|
| [06:39.07] |
I used to like to go to work but they shut it down |
| [06:42.48] |
|
| [06:43.32] |
I've got a right to go to work but |
| [06:45.33] |
There's no work here to be found |
| [06:47.17] |
Yes and they say we're gonna have to pay what's owed |
| [06:51.09] |
|
| [06:52.38] |
We're gonna have to reap from some seed that's been sowed |
| [06:55.30] |
|
| [06:57.50] |
And the birds up on the wires and the telegraph poles |
| [07:01.53] |
|
| [07:02.18] |
They can always fly away from this rain and this cold |
| [07:05.60] |
|
| [07:06.21] |
You can hear them singing out their telegraph code |
| [07:09.75] |
All the way down the telegraph road |
| [07:14.93] |
|
| [07:47.75] |
You know I'd sooner forget but I remember those nights |
| [07:51.08] |
|
| [07:52.16] |
When life was just a bet on a race between the lights |
| [07:55.44] |
|
| [07:55.98] |
You had your head on my shoulder you had your hand in my hair |
| [08:00.18] |
Now you act a little colder like you don't seem to care |
| [08:03.59] |
|
| [08:06.13] |
But believe in me baby and I'll take you away |
| [08:09.58] |
|
| [08:10.43] |
From out of this darkness and into the day |
| [08:14.05] |
From these rivers of headlights these rivers of rain |
| [08:17.98] |
|
| [08:18.56] |
From the anger that lives on the streets with these names |
| [08:22.52] |
|
| [08:23.18] |
Cause I've run every red light on memory lane |
| [08:26.55] |
|
| [08:27.17] |
I've seen desperation explode into flames |
| [08:30.67] |
|
| [08:32.49] |
And I don't wanna see it again |
| [08:34.26] |
|
| [08:38.73] |
From all of these signs saying sorry but we're closed |
| [08:42.03] |
|
| [08:45.60] |
All the way down the telegraph road |
