Dire Straits - Love Over Gold

Lyrics:

You walk out on the high wire
you're a dancer on thin ice
you pay no heed to the danger
and less to advice
your footsteps are forbidden
but with a knowledge of your sin
you throw your love to all the strangers
and caution to the wind

And you go dancing through doorways
just to see what you will find
leaving nothing to interfere
with the crazy balance of your mind
and when you finally reappear
at the place where you came in
you've thrown your love to all the strangers
and caution to the wind

It takes love over gold
and mind over matter
to do what you do that you must
when the things that you hold
can fall and be shattered
or run through your fingers like dust

  • It's amazing how much this song reminds me of my wife when I first met her in the 80s. She was interested in the arts, including tap dancing ... a typical young girl in bloom just like the first verse in the song. 25 years on, she's now a tough corporate lawyer with her own firm and a great wife and mother to our two kids just like the second verse. I'm going to karaoke this song at our 25th anniversary next year as my tribute to my "Dancer on thin ice".

  • Remind me to listen to this when I have 6 minutes to live...
