Telegraph Road (Live At Hammersmith Odeon, London/1983) - Dire Straits
Lyrics by：Mark Knopfler
Composed by：Mark Knopfler
Produced by：Mark Knopfler
A long time ago came a man on a track
Walking thirty miles with a sack on his back
And he put down his load
Where he thought it was the best
He made a home in the wilderness
He built a cabin and a winter store
And he plowed up the ground
By the cold lake shore
Your the other travelers
Came walking down the track
They never went further no
They never went back
Then came the churches
Then came the schools
Then came the lawyers
And then came the rules
Then came the trains
And the trucks with their loads
And the dirty old track was the telegraph road
Then came the mines
Then came the ore
Then there was the hard times
Then there was a war
Telegraph sang a song about the world outside
Telegraph road got so deep and so wide
Like a rolling river
My radio says tonight it's gonna freeze
People driving home from the factories
There's here come six lanes of traffic
Three lanes moving slow
I used to like to go to work
But they shut it down
I've got a right to go to work
No work here to be found
Yes and they say we're gonna have to
Pay what's owed
We're gonna have to reap
From some seed that's been sowed
When are the birds up on the wires
And the telegraph poles
They can always fly away
From this rain and this cold
And you can hear them
Singing out their telegraph code
All the way down the telegraph road
You know I'd sooner forget
But I remember those nights
Yeah life was just a bet on a race
Between the lights
You had your head on my shoulder
Had your hand in my hair
Now you act a little colder
Like you don't seem to care
But it just believe in me baby
And I'll take you away
From the get you out of this darkness
And into the day
From these rivers of headlights
From these rivers of rain
From the anger that lives
On the streets with these names
'Cause I've run every red light on memory lane
I've seen desperation explode into flames
And I don't want to see it again
From all of these signs saying
Sorry but we're closed
All the way
Down the telegraph road
