Silvertown Blues — текст песни (Mark Knopfler)

On silvertown way, the cranes stand high

Quiet and gray against the still of the sky

They wont quit and lay down though the action has died

They watch the new game in town on the blackwall side



From the poisinous drains a vision appears

New circle of cranes, a new reason to be here

A big silver dome rising up into the dawn

Above the church and the homes were all the silver is gone



If Id a bucket of gold, what would I do

Id leave the story untold silvertown blues

Going down silvertown

Down in silverdown

Going down silvertown

Down in silverdown



A silver dawn steals over the docks

A truck with no weels up on cinderblocks

Men with no dreams around a fire in a drum

Scrap metal schemes are rusted over and done



If Id a bucket of gold, silver would do

Id leave the story untold silvertown blues

Going down silvertown

Down in silverdown

Going down silvertown

Down in silverdown



When youre standing on thin and dangerous ice

You can knock and walk in for citizens advice

Theyll tell you the where you can turn, where you can go

Theres nothing they can tell me I dont already know



If Id a bucket of gold, silver would do

Id leave the story untold silvertown blues

Going down silvertown

Down in silverdown

Going down silvertown

Down in silverdown



From the caning town train I see a billboard high

Theres a big silverplane raising up into the sky

And I can make out the words seven flights every day

Says six of those birds are bound for jfk



If Id a bucket of gold, silver would do

Id leave the story untold silvertown blues

And Im going down in silvertown

Down in silverdown

Going down silvertown

Down in silverdown
