In the Sky Songtext

von Mark Knopfler

Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Songtext "In the Sky" von Mark Knopfler ist eine Hommage an einen Seemann, der nach langer Zeit auf See nach Hause z...

Are you home from the sea,
My soul balladeer
You've been away roaming
Far away from here
Weathered a storm,
Your heart unafraid
Crossed every ocean
In the boat that you made

Been blowing your horn,
Scaring the spooks
No crotchets or quavers
In your books
Gone sailing all night,
Straight in the vein
Like a bird on his own flight
In his domain
In the sky
In the sky

Running in on the tide
With the first of the stars
The moon on the water
And the sound of guitars
Glide into the homing
As the night falls
To tie up in the haven
By the old harbour wall

And the hard-bitten stranger
As deaf as a post
Who stands at the fire
Where a poet's dreams roast
He can't know the story,
He can't feel the pain
And all of the glory
Falls around him like rain
In the sky
In the sky

You're a light in the dark,
A beacon of hope
And strong as a sea boat,
Strong as a rope
And the vagabond wind,
Whispers over the bay
And the songs and the laughter,
Are carried away in the sky
In the sky
In the sky

In the sky
In the sky
