Lyrics for Silvertown Blues by Mark Knopfler:
| | | Artist: | Mark Knopfler |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Silvertown Blues | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 65 | | | | Lyrics: | On Silvertown way the cranes stand high
Quiet and gray against the still of the sky
They
won't quit and lay down though the action has died
They watch the new game in town on the
Blackwall side
From the poisonous drains a vision appears
A new circle of cranes, a new
reason to be here
A big silver dome rising up into the dawn
Above the church and the homes
where all the silver is gone
If I'd a bucket of gold, what would I do
I'd leave the
story untold Silvertown blues
Going down in Silvertown
Down in Silvertown
Going down in
Silvertown
Down in Silvertown
A silver dawn steals over the docks
A truck with no
wheels up on the cinderblocks
Men with no dreams around a fire in a drum
Scrap metal schemes
rusted over and done
If I'd a bucket of gold, silver would do
I'd leave the story
untold Silvertown blues
And I'm going down in
Down in Silvertown
Going down in
Silvertown
Down in Silvertown
When you're standing on thin and dangerous ice
You
can knock and walk in for citizens' advice
They'll tell you where you can turn, where you can
go
There's nothing they can tell me I don't already know
If I'd a bucket of gold,
silver would do
I'd leave the story untold Silvertown blues
And I'm going down in
Down
in Silvertown
Going down in Silvertown
Down in Silvertown
From the Caning Town
train I see a billboard high
There's a big silver plane rising up into the sky
And I can
make out the words 'seven flights every day'
Says six of those birds are bound for
JFK
If I'd a bucket of gold, what would I do
I'd leave the story untold Silvertown
blues
And I'm going down in
Down in | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
