In The Sky (Remastered 2021) - Mark Knopfler

Are you home from the sea

My soul balladeer

You've been away roaming

Far away from here

Weathered a storm

Your heart unafraid

Crossed every ocean

In the boat that you made

Been blowing your horn

Scaring the spooks

No crotchets or quavers in your books

Gone sailing all night

Straight in the vein

Like a bird on his own flight in

His domain in the sky

In the sky

Running in on the tide

With the first of the stars

The moon on the water

And the sound of guitars

Glide into the homing as the night falls

To tie up in the haven

By the old harbour wall

And the hard-bitten stranger

As deaf as a post

Who stands at the fire

Where a poet's dreams roast

He can't know the story

He can't feel the pain

And all of the glory

Falls around him like rain

In the sky in the sky

You're a light in the dark

A beacon of hope

And strong as a sea boat

Strong as a rope

And the vagabond wind

Whispers over the bay

And the songs and the laughter

Are carried away in the sky

In the sky in the sky

In the sky
