Telegraph Road - Dire Straits |
| [02:03.01] |
A long time ago came a man on a track |
| [02:06.51] |
|
| [02:07.05] |
Walking thirty miles with a sac on his back |
| [02:10.18] |
|
| [02:10.84] |
And he put down his load where he thought it was the best |
| [02:15.14] |
|
| [02:15.73] |
And he made a home in the wilderness |
| [02:17.65] |
|
| [02:21.99] |
He built a cabin and a winter store |
| [02:23.64] |
|
| [02:24.82] |
And he ploughed up the ground by the cold lake shore |
| [02:27.87] |
|
| [02:29.33] |
And the other travellers came riding down the track |
| [02:31.71] |
|
| [02:32.27] |
And they never went further and they never went back |
| [02:35.65] |
|
| [02:38.11] |
Then came the churches then came the schools |
| [02:40.99] |
|
| [02:41.69] |
Then came the lawyers then came the rules |
| [02:45.49] |
Then came the trains and trucks with their loads |
| [02:49.19] |
And the dirty old track was the telegraph road |
| [02:53.08] |
|
| [03:17.08] |
Then came the mines then came the ore |
| [03:19.50] |
|
| [03:20.47] |
Then there was the hard times then there was a war |
| [03:23.34] |
|
| [03:23.98] |
Telegraph sang a song about the world outside |
| [03:26.84] |
|
| [03:27.57] |
Telegraph road got so deep and so wide |
| [03:31.75] |
|
| [03:32.82] |
Like a rolling river |
| [03:34.96] |
|
| [04:35.86] |
And my radio says tonight it's gonna freeze |
| [04:38.85] |
|
| [04:40.33] |
People driving from the factories |
| [04:42.42] |
|
| [04:43.24] |
There's six lanes of traffic |
| [04:46.08] |
|
| [04:47.75] |
Three lanes moving slow |
| [04:51.42] |
|
| [06:51.03] |
I used to like to go to work but they shut it down |
| [06:54.34] |
|
| [06:54.90] |
I've got a right to go to work but there's no work here to be found |
| [06:58.06] |
Yes and they say we're gonna have to pay what's owed |
| [07:01.21] |
We're gonna have to reap from some seed that's been sowed |
| [07:05.95] |
|
| [07:07.50] |
And the birds up on the wires and the telegraph poles |
| [07:10.53] |
|
| [07:11.13] |
They can always run away from this rain and this cold |
| [07:14.90] |
You can hear them singing out their telegraph code |
| [07:17.65] |
|
| [07:18.24] |
All the way down the telegraph road |
| [07:22.87] |
|
| [07:53.36] |
You know I'd sooner forget but I remember those nights |
| [07:56.46] |
|
| [07:57.05] |
When life was just a bet on race between the light |
| [08:00.92] |
You had your head on my shoulder you had your hand in my hair |
| [08:05.12] |
Now you act a little colder like you don't seem care |
| [08:09.32] |
But believe in me baby and I'll take you away |
| [08:13.59] |
From out of this darkness and into the day |
| [08:17.19] |
From these rivers of headlights these river of rain |
| [08:21.31] |
From the anger that lives on the streets with these names |
| [08:25.09] |
Cause I've run every rod light on memory lane |
| [08:28.69] |
I've seen desperation explode into flames |
| [08:31.83] |
|
| [08:33.33] |
And I don't want to see it again |
| [08:35.40] |
|
| [08:39.68] |
From all of these signs saying sorry but we're closed |
| [08:42.50] |
|
| [08:46.03] |
All the way |
| [08:47.37] |
|
| [08:59.03] |
Down the telegraph road |
| [09:00.65] |
|
