Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris — Beachcombing

Текст песни: Beachcombing

Beachcombing LyricsThey say there's wreckage washing up
All along the coast
No one seems to know too much
Or who got hit the most
Nothing has been spoken
There's not a lot to see
But something has been broken
That's how it feels to me

We had a harmony
I never meant to spoil
Now it's lying on the water
Like a slick of oil
The tide is running out sea
Under a darkening sky
The night is falling down on me
And I'm thinking that I should
[Chorus:]
Head on home
(Head on home)
Been gone too long
(Gone too long)
Leave my roaming beachcombing

Little wild kitten out hunting
To see what he can get
You're in a big city now
That won't stop growing yet
The sun is going down smokin'
A flaming testament
Something has been broken
And it feels permanent

A little sea bird flying
He knows where he wants to go
Guess I better pack my stuff
And do the thing I know
I turn around and head on back
Along the old sea wall
I feel something give and crack
And I'm sorry, that's all

[Chorus]
