Mark Knopfler - Metroland lyrics

rate me

Yearning we were yearning

Green light blinding on the rail

Burning we were burning

And the line unwinding to the Holy Grail

To the future gleaming on a blue horizon

And a golden girl on golden sand

Dreaming fantasizing

In another world from Metroland

I've danced in rain and I've been Django

And I've got laid

I've been a rolling stone

I've been Verlaine

And I've been Rimbaud

Not afraid to walk alone

And now I take my midnight ramble

Do I fold or play what's in my hand

What's at stake and what's the gamble

Do I stay in Metroland

Dreams yesterday's laughter

Ghosts and lovers come back to play

But dreams have a morning after

And run for cover

In the light of day

I got something real worth holding on to

I can belong to and understand

I've made my deal

I will go on to

Make my peace with Metroland
