Mark Knopfler - In The Sky

very nice song , very poetic.

[coolcoyote]

Are you home from the sea, my soul balladeer
You've been away 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 crotchets or quavers in your books
Gone sailing all night, straight in the vein
Like a bird on his own flight in his domain 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 homing as the night falls
To 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

You're a light in the dark, a beacon of hope
And 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

The amazing thing about MK is that he can slip in a superb piece like this and it barely gets noticed.  Rolling Stone magazine did a list of the 100 greatest songwriters.  MK is not on the list.  Taylor Swift is.  Where did we lose the plot?

A story teller, a singer of songs, a writer of tales, a troubadour. Mark woos us and we love him for it.

I’m 81 years old, and still listening Mark Knoffler

[steven-nbrt]

I am 74 and still listen to Mark Knopfler. Started back in 1979. Sultans of Swing. Been hooked ever since. My favorite soft song is Why Worry.

[susanbezio]

So easy to get lost in his music. Simply beautiful. 40 plus years and still listening to this great musician.

I read somewhere this: "I don't need no therapy...I just need to hear Mark Knopfler" and God this is true! After a hard work day and a long haul his music will recomfort your soul and your heart.

When I hear this song I feel a spiritual peace

[bonniewalker]

Speaking my language Mark. I love the skies and birds of all kinds… and legendary songs telling a story!

As a human I say these are the moments that make life worth living. Each day I go to work I check the sky . And no matter it’s color or it’s contrast it is seldom the same . When you work outside most of the time you appreciate the greatness of the perfect day . All brought to you by none other than the sky . And perception in the midst of a bad day is brought to me by mr knopfler and one cool coyote.. now let’s go take on this day with a little hope in perspective and humanity when hope is all you have it is in fact all you need

Makes you realize that you are not alone with these feelings. There are others who feel the same way. Share your feelings.

I was 23 when Dire Straits with Mark Knopfler first came out on the radio then. I bought the first album they put together and it still to this day is the best spent money I've ever had. I'm 65 now and it still touch's me when ever I hear them.
