Watch Me Gone - Mark Knopfler

作词：Mark Knopfler

作曲：Mark Knopfler

There was a train leaving

For a big beat in a big life

Are you coming

I may have asked you once or twice

But I'd already left the hallway

With broken lights

Some dingy landing

We used to tumble from

Where the stairs were cracked and worn

Whatever

Watch me go babe watch me gone

And the songs were pushing

Harder all the time

Wasn't your fault

Then again it wasn't mine

Broke frustrated

And obsessed

You saw me as ridiculous I guess

And I didn't know from nothing

Not even my own voice

But I knew there was something

And I knew there was no choice

I was leaving mostly heartache

But I was in no mood to rejoice

There was so much that was wrong

Whatever

Watch me go babe watch me gone

Watch me go babe watch me gone

Well maybe I'll hit the road with Bob

Or maybe hitch a ride with Van

It's all gonna happen

And I'll be a happening man

And God must still be laughing

At a boy and his plans

In the streets where they were born

And the hopscotch traces

Well you can still see them here

The chalk lines faded

And unclear

Time for me to disappear

Put my old boots back on whatever

Watch me go babe watch me gone

Watch me go babe watch me gone

Watch me go babe watch me gone

Watch me go babe watch me gone
