[00:00.00] 作曲 : Mark Knopfler
[00:01.00] 作词 : Mark Knopfler
[00:34.51] The drinking dens are spilling out
[00:36.14] There's staggering in the square
[00:37.87] There's lads and lasses falling about
[00:39.98] And a crackling in the air
[00:41.91] Down around the dungeon doors
[00:43.83] The shelters and the queues
[00:45.37] Everybody's looking for
[00:47.60] Somebody's arms to fall into
[00:50.10] That's what it is
[00:52.96]
[00:53.55] It's what it is now
[00:55.69]
[00:57.77] There's frost on the graves and the monuments
[00:59.72] But the taverns are warm in town
[01:01.50] People curse the government
[01:03.34] And shovel hot food down
[01:05.73] Lights are out in the city hall
[01:07.53] The castle and the keep
[01:08.98] The moon shines down upon it all
[01:11.28] The legless and asleep
[01:13.22]
[01:13.82] And it's cold on the tollgate
[01:15.25] With the wagons creeping through
[01:16.90] Cold on the tollgate
[01:19.06] God knows what I could do with you
[01:20.66] That's what it is
[01:22.79]
[01:25.17] It's what it is now
[01:26.49]
[01:29.31] The garrison sleeps in the citadel
[01:30.99] With the ghosts and the ancient stones
[01:32.90] High on the parapet
[01:35.03] A Scottish piper stands alone
[01:37.12] And high on the wind
[01:38.60] The highland drums begin to roll
[01:40.41] And something from the past just comes
[01:43.13] And stares into my soul
[01:44.84]
[01:45.38] And it's cold on the tollgate
[01:47.15] and THE DRUMS BEAT THEIR TATOO
[01:48.92] Cold on the tollgate
[01:50.36] God knows what I could do with you
[01:52.80]
[01:53.30] That's what it is
[01:54.25]
[01:56.80] It's what it is now
[01:58.30]
[02:00.27] What it is
[02:02.75]
[02:03.43] It's what it is now
[02:05.78]
[02:40.29] There's a chink of light
[02:41.31] there's a burning wick
[02:42.29] There's a lantern in the tower
[02:43.64] Wee Willie Winkie with a candlestick
[02:45.97] Still writing songs in the wee wee hours
[02:48.09] On Charlotte Street I take
[02:49.65] A WALKING stick for my hotel
[02:51.43] The ghost of Dirty Dick
[02:53.76] Is still in search of Little Nell
[02:56.02] That's what it is
[02:57.86]
[02:59.82] It's what it is now
[03:01.08]
[03:03.41] It's what it is
[03:05.88]
[03:07.68] What it is now…
