Mark Knopfler - What Is It Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • The drinking dens are spilling out
  • There's staggering in the square
  • There's lads and lasses falling about
  • And a crackling in the air
  • Down around the dungeon doors
  • The shelters and the queues
  • Everybody's looking for
  • Somebody arms to fall into
  • And it's what it is
  • It's what it is now
  • There's frost on the graves and the monuments
  • But the taverns are warm in town
  • People Curse the government
  • And shovel hot food down
  • The lights are out in the city hall
  • The castle and the keep
  • The moon shines down upon it all
  • The legless and asleep
  • And it's cold on the tollgate
  • With the wagons creeping through
  • Cold on the tollgate
  • God knows what I could do with you
  • And it's what it is
  • It's what it is now
  • High up on the parapet
  • A Scottish piper stands alone
  • And high on the wind
  • The highland drums begin to roll
  • And something from the past just comes
  • And stares into my soul
  • And it's cold on the tollgate
  • With the Caledonian Blues
  • Cold on the tollgate
  • God knows what I could do with you
  • And it's what it is
  • It's what it is now
  • What it is
  • It's what it is now
  • There's a chink of light, there's a burning wick
  • There's a lantern in the tower
  • Wee Willie Winkie with a candlestick
  • Still writing songs in the wee wee hours
  • On Charlotte Street I take
  • A walking stick from my hotel
  • The ghost of Dirty Dick
  • Is still in search of Little Nell
  • And it's what it is
  • It's what it is now
  • Oh what it is
  • What it is now
