Telegraph Road (Live) - Mark Knopfler[00:00:01]

A long time ago came a man on a track[00:01:47]

Walking thirty miles with a sack on his back[00:01:52]

And he put down his load where he thought it was the best[00:01:56]

He made a home in the wilderness[00:02:00]

He built a cabin and a winter store[00:02:07]

And he ploughed up the ground by the cold lake shore[00:02:10]

And the other travellers came walking down the track[00:02:15]

And they never went further and they never went back[00:02:19]

Then came the churches then came the schools[00:02:26]

Then came the lawyers then came the rules[00:02:29]

Then came the trains and the trucks with their loads[00:02:33]

And the dirty old track was the telegraph road[00:02:37]

Then came the mines then came the ore[00:03:07]

Then there was the hard times then there was a war[00:03:11]

Telegraph sang a song about the world outside[00:03:15]

Telegraph road got so deep and so wide[00:03:19]

Like a rolling river[00:03:25]

And my radio says tonight it's gonna freeze[00:04:17]

People driving home from the factories[00:04:22]

There's six lanes of traffic[00:04:25]

Three lanes moving slow[00:04:30]

I used to like to go to work but they shut it down[00:06:39]

I've got a right to go to work but[00:06:43]

There's no work here to be found[00:06:45]

Yes and they say we're gonna have to pay what's owed[00:06:47]

We're gonna have to reap from some seed that's been sowed[00:06:52]

And the birds up on the wires and the telegraph poles[00:06:57]

They can always fly away from this rain and this cold[00:07:02]

You can hear them singing out their telegraph code[00:07:06]

All the way down the telegraph road[00:07:09]

You know I'd sooner forget but I remember those nights[00:07:47]

When life was just a bet on a race between the lights[00:07:52]

You had your head on my shoulder you had your hand in my hair[00:07:55]

Now you act a little colder like you don't seem to care[00:08:00]

But believe in me baby and I'll take you away[00:08:06]

From out of this darkness and into the day[00:08:10]

From these rivers of headlights these rivers of rain[00:08:14]

From the anger that lives on the streets with these names[00:08:18]

Cause I've run every red light on memory lane[00:08:23]

I've seen desperation explode into flames[00:08:27]

And I don't wanna see it again[00:08:32]

From all of these signs saying sorry but we're closed[00:08:38]

All the way down the telegraph road[00:08:45]
