Mark Knopfler - Pale Imitation lyrics
[Mark Knopfler - Pale Imitation lyrics]
Where I used to live got up in the morning
Put on my boots and I crossed the road
Stood in front of our house
And went back to my tricycle times
At the end of the terrace I looked
Up the alley and there he was
A little blonde boy
With a stick in his hands
Looking straight at me and if he wasn't me
Then my god, he was just like I used to be
We stared at each other
But he stared me down and I looked away
After a moment
When I turned again he was gone
I don't think I ever became half the man
That I used to be the warrior captain
The bold pirate king of the sea
Nobody does me like I do
Or that's what they say to me
But, I'm a pale imitation
I've been keeping my secret safe with me
