"It was so late and she’d be sleeping
 He came through her home town
 With the moonlight on the crossroads
 And the green light shining down"

 -Mark Knopfler: Silver Eagle

"The morning brings, Lord, a fresh young breeze
  To fill our sails and end the doldrums
  Our lucky ship speeds across the sea
  I'm a living man and you're a cold one
  Haul away, haul away for home "

-Mark Knopfler: Haul Away

“Above the bar the TVs are showing the game
  But we’re not watching it, we’re hardly focussing
  Through the windows in the fading day
  1st Avenue is turning grey”

 
-Mark Knopfler: Seattle

”You want to smile those tears away

  Now don’t you cry

  You want to know what I say

  I say never say die

  ‘Cos something’s going to happen

  To make your whole life better

  Your whole life better one day”

-Mark Knopfler: One More Matinee

"One day you got the glory
  One day you got none
  One day you're a diamond
  And then you're a stone
  Everything can change
  In the blink of an eye"

-Dire Straits: The Bug (san.Mark Knopfler)
