Metroland Lyrics - Mark Knopfler

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
