Mark Knopfler - In The Sky (Remastered 2021)

Are you home from the sea, my soul balladeer? You've been away and 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 quartets or quavers in your books Gone sailing all night, straight in the main Like a bird on his own flight in his domain In the sky 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 woman as the night falls 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 In the sky You're a light in the dark, a beacon of hope 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 In the sky In the sky In the sky
