Lyrics:

Two in the morning, dry-dock town
The rivers rolls away in the night
Little gypsy moth she's all tied down
She quiver in the wind and the light

Yeah and a sailing ship just held down in chains
From the lazy days of sail
She's just lying there in silent pain
He lean on the turist rail

A mother and her baby and the college of war
In the concrete graves
You never wanna fight against the river law
Nobody rules the waves
Yeah and on a night when the lazy wind is a-wailing
Around the Cutty Sark
Single handed sailor goes sailing
Sailing away in the dark

He's upon the bridge on the self same night
The mariner of dry dock land
Two in the morning, but there is one green light
And a man on the barge of sand
She's gonna slip away below him
Away from the things he's done
But he just shouts "Hey man, what do you call this thing?"
He could have said "Pride of London"
On a night when the lazy wind is a-wailing
Around the Cutty Sark
Yeah the single handed sailor goes sailing
Sailing away in the dark

  • Why this album is so underrated is beyond me.It's superior to Brothers in Arms if you ask me.Even Mark doesn't acknowledge these brilliant tunes and never plays them in concert, not even one of these

  • BEST BAND FOREVER!!!!

  • This song is too good for words.

  • still crazy of Mark after al these years!!!

  • Grazie Mark!!!

  • ohhh cazzo......sta per finire!!! replay, REPLAY!!!!

  • never get tired of this song, just brilliant after all these years

  • @LADYDEACON - seriously underrated

  • I am glad others are incapable of producing such master pieces. This is what makes dire Straits so untouchable!

  • Amazing guitar work!
