Hand In Hand
|
(Mark Knopfler)
|
|
The sky is crying the streets are full of tears
|
Rain come down wash away my fears
|
And all this writing on the wall
|
Oh I can read between the lines
|
Rain come down forgive this dirty town
|
Rain come down and give this dirty town
|
A drink of water a drink of wine
|
|
If I been hard on you I never chose to be
|
I never wanted no one else
|
I tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to
|
Hand in hand like lovers are supposed to
|
|
As you'd sleep I'd think my heart would break in two
|
I'd kiss your cheek I'd stop myself from waking you
|
But in the dark you'd speak my name
|
You'd say baby what's wrong?
|
Oh here I am baby I'm coming back for more
|
I'm like a wave that's got to roll into the shore
|
Yes and if my love's in vain how come my love is so strong?
|
|
Now you and me go parallel together and apart
|
And you keep your perfect distance and it's tearing at my heart
|
Did you never feel the distance
|
You never tried to cross no line
|
Now it's another dirty river and another dirty scar
|
And I don't know who's kissing you and I don't know where you are
|
So far from home don't you think of me sometime
|
|
Sky is crying see the streets are full of tears
|
Rain coming down to wash away my fears
|
And all this writing on the wall
|
Oh I can read between the lines
|
