Mark Knopfler - Metroland (1997)

Mark Knopfler's Metroland theme, from the Metroland (1997) soundtrack.
All I could find were covers of this song, so I decided to upload the original song.
I didn't create this video.
Enjoy!

LYRICS:
Yearning we were yearning
Green light blinding on the rail
Burning we were burning
And the line unwinding to the Holy Grail
To the future gleaming on a blue horizon
And a golden girl on golden sand
Dreaming fantasizing
In another world from Metroland

I've danced in rain and I've been Django
And I've got laid
I've been a rolling stone
I've been Verlaine

And I've been Rimbaud
Not afraid to walk alone
And now I take my midnight ramble
Do I fold or play what's in my hand
What's at stake and what's the gamble
Do I stay in Metroland

Dreams yesterday's laughter
Ghosts and lovers come back to play
But dreams have a morning after
And run for cover
In the light of day
I got something real worth holding on to
I can belong to and understand
I've made my deal
I will go on to
Make my peace with Metroland

Saw this movie the other day. Great song. Is it possible to buy it on CD without getting the soundtrack? I really need this masterpiece in my collection!

[Zelmquist]

wow great tune!

@GeorgeTel100 It's from the movie "Metroland" with Christian Bale. Great flick and Mark Knopfler does the music score for the film. This is my favorite piece from it.
