Silver Eagle Lyrics - Tracker - Mark Knopfler

It was so late and she'd be sleeping 

He came through her home town 

With the moonlight on the crossroads 

And the green light shining down 

And the bell at the railroad crossing 

And the horn from far away 

And his Silver Eagle passing 

Half a mile from where she lay 

At his feet a sea of faces 

Make devotions with their love 

Clap their hands and plead their cases 

Call for blessings from above 

Like the rolling waves forever massing 

To crash and foam and creep away 

And the Silver Eagle passing 

Half a mile from where she lay

Road signs flow into the headlights 

Whisper names and fall behind 

He finds some honor in the darkness 

Hopes for grace and peace of mind 

And he thinks of how they'd lay together 

He'd run his fingers through her hair 

And he wonders if she'll ever 

Come to know that he was there
