Lyrics Watch me gone Mark Knopfler

 540

Watch me gone


There was a train leaving
For a big beat in a big life
Are you coming?
I may have asked you once or twice
But I’d already left the hallway
With broken lights
Some dingy landing
We used?to?tumble?from
Where the stairs?were cracked and?worn, whatever

Watch me go babe, watch me gone

And the songs were pushing
Harder all the time
Wasn’t your fault
Then again it wasn’t mine
Broke, frustrated
And obsessed
You saw me as ridiculous, I guess

And I didn’t know from nothing
Not even my own voice
But I knew there was something
And I knew there was no choice
I was leaving mostly heartache
But I was in no mood to rejoice
There was so much that was wrong, whatever

Watch me go babe, watch me gone (watch me go babe, watch me gone)
Watch me go babe, watch me gone (watch me go babe, watch me gone)

Well maybe I’ll hit the road with Bob
Or maybe hitch a ride with Van
It’s all gonna happen
And I’ll be a happening man
And God must still be laughing
At a boy and his plans
In the streets where they were born

And the hopscotch traces
Well you can still see them here
The chalk lines faded
And unclear
Time for me to disappear
Put my old boots back on, whatever

Watch me go babe, watch me gone (watch me go babe, watch me gone)
Watch me go babe, watch me gone (watch me go babe, watch me gone)
Watch me go babe, watch me gone (watch me go babe, watch me gone)
Watch me go babe, watch me gone (watch me go babe, watch me gone)

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
