Metroland
Mark Knopfler Song Lyrics




(Mark Knopfler)

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 the blue horizon
And a golden girl on golden sand
Dreaming, fantasising
In another world for 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 the morning after
And run for cover
In the light of day
I've 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
