Mark Knopfler Quotes
Getting crazy on the Waltzers, but it's the life that I choose.Sing about the sixblade, sing about the switchback and a torture tattoo.And I been riding on a ghost train where the cars they scream and slam,And I don't know where I'll be tonight but I'd always tell you where I am.
