Mark Knopfler - In the Sky lyrics
[Mark Knopfler - In the Sky lyrics]
Are you home from the sea, my soul balladeer
You've been away roaming far away from here
Weathered a storm, your heart unafraid
Crossed every ocean in the boat that you made
Been blowing your horn, scaring the spooks
No crotchets or quavers in your books
Gone sailing all night, straight in the vein
Like a bird on his own flight in his domain
In the sky in the sky
Running in on the tide with
The first of the stars
The moon on the water and
The sound of guitars
Glide into the homing as the night falls
Tie up in the haven by the old harbor wall
And the hard-bitten stranger, deaf as a post
Who stands at the fire where
A poets dreams roast
He can't know the story
He can't feel the pain
And all of the glory falls
Around him like rain in the sky
In the sky
You're a light in the dark, beacon of hope
And strong as a sea boat, strong as a rope
And the vagabond wind whispers over the bay
And the songs and the
Laughter are carried away in the sky
In the sky in the sky
In the sky
You've been away roaming far away from here
Weathered a storm, your heart unafraid
Crossed every ocean in the boat that you made
Been blowing your horn, scaring the spooks
No crotchets or quavers in your books
Gone sailing all night, straight in the vein
Like a bird on his own flight in his domain
In the sky in the sky
Running in on the tide with
The first of the stars
The moon on the water and
The sound of guitars
Glide into the homing as the night falls
Tie up in the haven by the old harbor wall
And the hard-bitten stranger, deaf as a post
Who stands at the fire where
A poets dreams roast
He can't know the story
He can't feel the pain
And all of the glory falls
Around him like rain in the sky
In the sky
You're a light in the dark, beacon of hope
And strong as a sea boat, strong as a rope
And the vagabond wind whispers over the bay
And the songs and the
Laughter are carried away in the sky
In the sky in the sky
In the sky
