the sky is crying the streets are full of tears
rain come down wash away my tears
and all this writing on the wall
oh i can read between the lines
rain come down forgive this dirty town
rain come down and give this dirty town
a drink of water a drink of wine
if i been hard on you i never chose to be
i never wanted no one else
i tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to
hand in hand like lovers are supposed to
as you'd sleep i'd think my heart would break in two
i'd kiss your cheek i'd stop myself from waking you
but in the dark you'd speak my name
you'd say baby what's wrong?
oh here i am baby i'm coming back for more
i'm like a wave that's got to roll into the shore
yes and if my love's in vain how come my love is so strong?
now you and me go parallel together and apart
and you keep the perfect distance and it's tearing at my heart
did you never feel the distance
you never tried to cross no line
now it's another dirty river and another dirty scar
and i don't know who's kissing you and i don't know where you are
so far from home don't you think of me sometime
sky is crying see the streets are full of tears
rain coming down to wash away my fears
and all this writing on the wall
oh i can read between the lines

Dire Straits è un gruppo musicale britannico formatosi nel 1977 da Mark Knopfler (chitarra e voce), John Illsley (basso) e Pick Withers (batteria). Il loro sound, caratterizzato da chitarre acustiche e elettriche pulite, testi introspettivi e arrangiamenti minimalisti, si distaccava dal panorama musicale dominato da punk e rock stadium. Il loro album di debutto omonimo del 1978, inizialmente considerato un flop, ottenne un successo inaspettato grazie al singolo "Sultans of Swing", che li consacrò come una delle band più influenti degli anni '80. Tra i loro successi più noti figurano anche "Romeo and Juliet", "Money for Nothing" e "Walk of Life". Dire Straits ha venduto oltre 120 milioni di dischi in tutto il mondo, vincendo numerosi premi Grammy Awards.
