Testo Arcadie - David Knopfler
Testo della canzone Arcadie (David Knopfler), tratta dall'album Wishbones
Well, there's no going this way
There's no going that
The cul-de-sac one-way warned you, babe
With a freight train there's no turning back
You wake to the serial nightmare
Your body's a heartbreaking sight
A face, forlorn, in the windscreen
In the moonlight, so blue, so bright
Oh, Arcadia
Is this a portrait of you?
Mmm, Arcadia
You know I do
You know I do
Some hearts seem senselessly haunted
Others seem calmly defined
In slo-mo I'm watching you moving beside him
What could you not leave behind?
Who poisoned your dreams of a future?
Who hurt you then left you afraid?
Who blew away all your tomorrows
Like candles snuffed in a no-hope arcade?
Some hearts are brutally blind, Arcadia
Others are achingly kind
Oh, Arcadia
Is this the portrait of you?
Mmm, Arcadia
You know I do
You know I do
But a smile brings no note of redemption
The lover creeps home to the wife
Burnt-out, a silhouette, car wreck
A hot white on the highway of life
A cold-shouldered ghost, innocence lost
Stays, belief stares back at you
A long-legged looker who's hooking for love
In the headlamps so deadly and true
Oh, Arcadia
Is this the portrait of you?
Mmm, Arcadia
You know I do
You know I do
Napalmed with minibar comforts
They got ship-wrecking, femme-femme eyes
Capsizing sighs, abandoned, drowning
Safe in the warmth of his lies
Sweet lies, sweet smoky lies
No, there's no going this way
No, there's no going that
Her naked reflection going down on you
And the white screen fades to black
Oh, Arcadia
I've painted this portrait for you
Arcadia
Indigo blue
