It's time to come away, my Darling Pretty
It's time to come away on the changing tide
Time to come away, Darling Pretty
And I need you darling by my side
Heal me with a smile, Darling Pretty
Heal me with a smile and a heart of gold
Carry me awhile, my Darling Pretty
Heal my aching heart and soul
Just like a castaway
Lost upon an endless sea
I saw you far away
Come to rescue me
Cast away the chains, Darling Pretty
Cast away the chains away behind
Take away my pain, my Darling Pretty
And the chains that once were yours and mine
There will come a day, Darling Pretty
There will come a day when hearts can fly
Love will find a way, my Darling Pretty
Find a heaven for you and I
Love will find a way, my Darling Pretty
Find a heaven for you and I
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Knopfler rules. Arguably the best songwriter of the last twenty years.

Of course I remember Dire Straits, but Knopfler is new to me. His guitar is quite something special. I'll be looking for his work.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Knopfler and Ray Davies are the only two major stars that only sing songs they wrote, maybe Van the man. Mark and Jorma are the best finger pickers in rock.

Posted by: Van der Leun at September 2, 2014 11:32 AMKnopfler is head and shoulders above most of the rest. "A Night In London" from 1996 is just first rate! Appreciate it.
