Mark Knopfler - Be Mine - lyrics

(kimmie rhodes)
When the green, green spring
Is waiting for the sun to shine
It knows the sun will shine
In time... in time
How long until the dawn?
Is there any sign?
How long until your love will be mine?
The sweetest dream
I ever dreamed in all my life
Was one of having you
In time... in time
Are you ever gonna wake up
From the sleep you sleep?
How long until your love will be mine?
Be mine
Be mine
How long until your love will be mine?
Ive heard it said
That a thousand years is like a day
Just a twinkle of an eye
In time... in time
Just a moment full of grace
My whole life would be
If you would say your love could be mine
Be mine
Be mine
How long until your love will be mine?
Be mine
Be mine
How long until your love will be mine?

Mark Knopfler - Bewildered - lyrics

(whitcup / powell)
Bewildered
Lost in a dream of you
Where is the love I once knew
Why did we part
Bewildered
Im helpless without you dear
Wishing your heart could hear
Whats in my heart
Why must I have sleepless nights
And endless days
But love, you took my soul
Without a thought
Im in the dark
Bewildered
I need your guiding hand
I will never understand
Why did you leave me bewildered
Why must I have sleepless nights
And endless days
But love, you took my soul
Without a thought
Im in the dark
Bewildered
I need your guiding hand
I will never understand
How could you leave me bewildered

Mark Knopfler - All That I Have In The World - lyrics

Don't leave me don't leave me
I'm begging of you
My prescious, my only sweet girl
Don't leave me don't leave me
I'll die if you do
And you're all that I have in the world
You're all that I have in the world
I care not for treasures of silver and gold
I care not for diamonds and pearls
Love may not be measured or traded or sold
And you're all that I have in the world
You're all that I have in the world
Not a word of a warning would you give to me
My prescious, my only sweet girl
You'd leave me in the morning
And I'll be calling for you
And you're all that I have have in the world
You're all that I have in the world

Mark Knopfler - 5.15 A.M. - lyrics

5.15 a.m.
Snow laying all around
A collier cycles home
From his night shift underground
Past the silent pub
Primary school, workingmens club
On the road from the pithead
The churchyard packed
With mining dead
Then beneath the bridge
He comes to a giant car
A shroud of snow upon the roof
A mark ten jaguar
He thought the man was fast asleep
Silent, still and deep
Both dead and cold
Shot through
With bullet holes
The one armed bandit man
Came north to fill his boots
Came up from *****neyland
E-type jags and flashy suits
Put your money in
Pull the levers
Watch them spin
Cash cows in all the pubs
But he preferred the new nightclubs
Nineteen sixty-seven
Bandit men in birdcage heaven
La dolce vita, sixty-nine
All new to people of the tyne
Who knows who did what
Somebody made a call
They said his hands
Were in the pot
That he'd been skimming hauls
He picks up the swag
They gaily gave away
Drives his giant jag
Off to his big pay day
The bandit man
Came north to fill his boots
Came up from *****neyland
E-type jags and flashy suits
The bandit man
Came up the great north road
Up to geordieland
To mine
The mother lode
Seams blew up or cracked
Black diamonds came hard won
Generations toiled and hacked
For a pittance and black lung
Crushed by tub or stone
Together
And alone
How the young and old
Paid the price of coal
Eighteen sixty-seven
My angel's gone to heaven
He'll be happy there
Sunlight and sweet clean air
They gather round the glass
Tough hewers and crutters
Child trappers and putters
The little foals and half-marrows
Who pushed
And pulled the barrows
The hod boys
And the rolleywaymen
5.15 a.m.

Mark Knopfler - Baloney Again - lyrics

We dont eat in no white restaurant
Were eatin in the car
Baloney again, baloney again
We dont sleep in no white hotel bed
Were sleepin in the car, baloney again
You dont strut around in these country towns
You best stay in the car
Look on ahead dont stare around
You best stay where you are
Youre a long way from home, boy
Dont push your luck too far
Baloney again
Twenty-two years weve sung the word
Since nineteen thirty-one
Amen, I say amen
Now the young folk want to praise the lord
With guitar, bass and drums, amen
Well Ill never get tired of jesus
But its been a heavy load
Carrying his precious love
Down a long dirt road
Were a long way from home
Just lets pay the man and go
Baloney again
The lord is my shepherd
He leadeth me in pastures green
He gave us this day
Our daily bread and gasoline
Go under the willow
Park her up beside the stream
Shoulders for pillows
Lay down your head and dream
Shoulders for pillows
Lay down your head and dream

Mark Knopfler - All That Matters - lyrics

My darling girl
My darling girl
You're all that matters
In this wicked world
All that matters
All that matters
My darling boy
My darling boy
All of my sunshine
And all of my joy
You're all that matters
All that matters
Well, I can't stop the pain
When it calls
I'm a man
And I can't stop the rain
When it falls, my darling
Who can?
My darling girl
My darling girl
You're all that matters
In this wicked world
All that matters
All that matters
My darling friend
My darling friend
All we've got going
Is love in the end
It's all that matters
All that matters

Mark Knopfler - Badges, Posters, Stickers, T-shirts - lyrics

Me and my mate we think youre great
Some we like and some we hate
I know him Ive seen him on the adverts
Got any badges posters stickers or t-shirts
You were bloody great last time you come
I thought me ead was stuck in the bass drum
Bloody loud, me bloody head hurts
Got any badges posters stickers and t-shirts
So howd you get a start in show biz
My mates as good on the drums as he is
My mate thinks Im bloody cracked
Please sign my jacket on the back
All them badges made of plastic
I think theyre great, just fantastic
Im unemployed, hes still at school
He gets annoyed cause Im such a fool
You dont half sweat a lot up there
Have you got showers in here?
Youre bloody great, my bloody head hurts
Got any badges posters stickers and t-shirts
Yeah, me and my mate like ac-dc
Hot & sweaty, loud & greasy
My mom says were a pair of perverts
Got any badges posters stickers and t-shirts
Cmon mister
We hitch-hiked here in pouring rain
Now weve missed the frigging train
Hey! can I have one of them lagers?
Thanks very much, mate. can e have one?
A-one, a-two, a-one two three four

Mark Knopfler - A Night In Summer Long Ago - lyrics

My lady may I have this dance
Forgive a knight who knows no shame
My lady may I have this dance
And lady may I have your name
You danced upon a soldiers arm
And I felt the blade of love so keen
And when you smiled you did me harm
And I was drawn to you, my queen
Now these boots may take me where they will
Though they may never shine like his
There is no knight I would not kill
To have my ladys hand to kiss
Yes and they did take me through the hall
To leave me not one breath from you
And they fell silent one and all
And you could see my heart was true
Then I did lead you from the hall
And we did ride upon the hill
Away beyond the city wall
And sure you are my lady still
A night in summer long ago
The stars were falling from the sky
And still, my heart, I have to know
Why do you love me, lady, why?

Mark Knopfler - Angel Of Mercy - lyrics

Well theres a peter pan moon, shepherds delight
I got the dragon at noon, yes and I won the fight
Now I want my reward in heaven tonight, just like you promised
Angel of mercy youll come to no harm
Angel of mercy, theres no need for alarm
The knight in his armour wants a night in your arms
You know hes honest
Angel of mercy, angel delight, give me my reward in heaven tonight
And if I give up my sword, wont you give me the right
Sweet angel
Well now its too late for talkin, we can talk later on
Let the saxophone play us till the chorus of dawn
And I need is a little oblivion, you dont need protection
Well now here come the moonlight down on your bed
Angel of mercy let your heart rule your head
I dont want your money, I want you instead
Dont need rejection yeah
Angel of mercy, angel delight, give me my reward in heaven tonight
And if I give up my sword, wont you give me the right
Angel of mercy, give me heaven tonight
Well, if you cross your heart
And spit and swear upon the grave of your mother
You gotta get into it, you gotta tell me that Im more than a lover
Yeah angel of mercy, angel delight
A-give me my reward in heaven tonight
And if I give up my sword, wont you give me the right
Angel of mercy, give me heaven tonight
Yeah angel of mercy, angel delight
A-give me my reward in heaven tonight
And if I give up my sword, wont you give me the right
Angel of mercy, give me heaven tonight
Yeah angel of mercy, angel delight
A-give me my reward in heaven tonight
And if I give up my sword, wont you give me the right
Angel of mercy, give me heaven tonight

Mark Knopfler - A Place Where We Used To Live - lyrics

This empty kitchen's where
I'd while away the hours
Just next to my old chair
You'd usually have some flowers
The shelves of books
Even the picture hooks
Everything is gone
But my heart is hanging on
If this old neighbourhood
Survived us both alright
Don't know that it withstood
All the things that took our light
You on the stair
I can see you there
Everything is gone
But my heart is hanging on
Once there was a little girl
Used to wonder what she would be
Went out into the big wide world
Now she's just a memory
There used to be a little school here
Where I learned to write my name
But time has been a little cruel here
Time has no shame
It's just a place where
We used to live
It's just a place where
We used to live
Now in another town
You lead another life
And now upstairs and down
You're someone else's wife
Here in the dust
There's not a trace of us
Everything is gone
But my heart is hanging on
It's just a place where
We used to live
It's just a place where
We used to live
