What It Is - Mark Knopfler[00:00:00]
The drinking dens are spilling out[00:00:34]
There's staggering in the square[00:00:36]
There's lads and lasses falling about[00:00:37]
And a crackling in the air[00:00:39]
Down around the dungeon doors[00:00:41]
The shelters and the queues[00:00:43]
Everybody's looking for[00:00:45]
Somebody's arms to fall into[00:00:47]
That's what it is[00:00:50]
It's what it is now[00:00:53]
There's frost on the graves and the monuments[00:00:57]
But the taverns are warm in town[00:00:59]
People curse the government[00:01:01]
And shovel hot food down[00:01:03]
Lights are out in the city hall[00:01:05]
The castle and the keep[00:01:07]
The moon shines down upon it all[00:01:08]
The legless and asleep[00:01:11]
And it's cold on the tollgate[00:01:13]
With the wagons creeping through[00:01:15]
Cold on the tollgate[00:01:16]
God knows what I could do with you[00:01:19]
That's what it is[00:01:20]
It's what it is now[00:01:25]
The garrison sleeps in the citadel[00:01:29]
With the ghosts and the ancient stones[00:01:30]
High on the parapet[00:01:32]
A Scottish piper stands alone[00:01:35]
And high on the wind[00:01:37]
The highland drums begin to roll[00:01:38]
And something from the past just comes[00:01:40]
And stares into my soul[00:01:43]
And it's cold on the tollgate[00:01:45]
and THE DRUMS BEAT THEIR TATOO[00:01:47]
Cold on the tollgate[00:01:48]
God knows what I could do with you[00:01:50]
That's what it is[00:01:53]
It's what it is now[00:01:56]
What it is[00:02:00]
It's what it is now[00:02:03]
There's a chink of light [00:02:40]
there's a burning wick[00:02:41]
There's a lantern in the tower[00:02:42]
Wee Willie Winkie with a candlestick[00:02:43]
Still writing songs in the wee wee hours[00:02:45]
On Charlotte Street I take[00:02:48]
A WALKING stick for my hotel[00:02:49]
The ghost of Dirty Dick[00:02:51]
Is still in search of Little Nell[00:02:53]
That's what it is[00:02:56]
It's what it is now[00:02:59]
It's what it is[00:03:03]
What it is now…[00:03:07]
