Testo The Missing Book - David Knopfler
Testo della canzone The Missing Book (David Knopfler), tratta dall'album Behind the Lines
Out into the light
Spirit dancer
Who but you could really look?
The sun's eclipsed
One perfect answer
Lies hidden in the missing book
Stares into the window
Reflections of water
You can't refuse it now
These statuettes
Stand in frozen time
Honouring a stony vow
Fear not, my little one
Everybody holds a key
And the missing book holds an answer
Hidden as a prophecy
And you who took so long to find us
With naked love
The missing book would bind us
Yes, you who took so long to find us
With naked love
The missing book would bind us
Out into the night
A bird of fire
She's flying to the promised land
Crimson stains
An unseen wire
There's blood upon the timeless sand
Higher and higher
Up to the light
Till you don't want to look
The hidden hand
Grasps a broken lyre
And is gashed upon a baited hook
And you who took so long to find us
With naked love
The missing book would bind us
Yes, you who took so long to find us
With naked love
The missing book would bind us
In her search for proof
And the word of truth
Everybody comes to play a part
If you came to look upon the missing book
You take it to your very heart
Through ancient gates
Over dead men's bones
Where the rocks have turned to grass
From a burning cage
Comes a furnace page
Enscripted on Phoenician glass
Through these gates of Tyre
Says the prophet's son
He who's blind will pass
When God had stones in a ring of thrones
And Samson chained in brass
And you who took so long to find us
With chains of love
The missing book would bind us
Yes, you who took so long to find us
With naked love
The missing book would bind us
In her search for proof
And the word of truth
Everybody comes to play a part
If you came to look upon the missing book
You take it to your very heart
Prophecies
She will be free
