Testo Silvertown Blues - Mark Knopfler
Testo della canzone Silvertown Blues (Mark Knopfler), tratta dall'album Sailing To Philadelphia
On Silvertown Way the cranes stand high
Quiet and gray against the still of the sky
They won't quit and lay down though the action has died
They watch the new game in town on the Blackwall side
From the poisonous drains a vision appears
A new circle of cranes, a new reason to be here
A big silver dome rising up into the dawn
Above the church and the homes
Where all the silver is gone, gone, gone
If I'd a bucket of gold, what would I do?
I'd leave the story untold Silvertown Blues
Going down in Silvertown
Down in Silvertown
Going down in Silvertown
Down in Silvertown
A silver dawn steals over the docks
A truck with no wheels up on cinderblocks
Men with no dreams around a fire in a drum
Scrap metal schemes rusted over and done
If I had a bucket of gold, silver would do
I'd leave the story untold Silvertown Blues
And I'm going down in Silvertown
Down in Silvertown
Going down in Silvertown
Down in Silvertown
When you're standing on thin and dangerous ice
You can knock and walk in for citizens' advice
They'll tell you where you can turn, where you can go
There's nothing they can tell me I don't already know
If I had a bucket of gold, silver would I do
I'd leave the story untold Silvertown Blues
And I'm going down in Silvertown
Down in Silvertown
I'm going down in Silvertown
Down in Silvertown
From the Caning Town train I saw a billboard high
There's a big silver plane rising up into the sky
And I can make out the words 'seven flights every day'
Says six of those birds are bound for J. F. K.
If had a bucket of gold, silver would I do
I'd leave the story untold Silvertown Blues (Silvertown blues)
Yes I'm going down in Silvertown
Down in Silvertown
I'm going down in Silvertown
Down in Silvertown
Going down in Silvertown
Down in Silvertown
Going down in Silvertown
Down in Silvertown
Down in Silvertown
Down in Silvertown
Down in Silvertown
