Mark Knopfler - In the sky lyrics

Artist: Mark Knopfler

Tilte: In the sky

-----------------

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

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

to tie up in the haven by the old harbour wall

And the hard-bitten stranger as deaf as a post

who stands at the fire where a poet’s 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

You’re a light in the dark, a 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
