Mark Knopfler - A Night In Summer Long Ago (Remastered 2021)

My lady may I have this dance? Forgive a knight who knows no shame My mady may I have this dance? And lady may I know your name? You danced upon a soldier's arm 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 lady's 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 youfrom 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?
