《What It Is》歌词

[00:00:00] What It Is - Mark Knopfler

[00:00:34] The drinking dens are spilling out

[00:00:36] There's staggering in the square

[00:00:37] There's lads and lasses falling about

[00:00:39] And a crackling in the air

[00:00:41] Down around the dungeon doors

[00:00:43] The shelters and the queues

[00:00:45] Everybody's looking for

[00:00:47] Somebody's arms to fall into

[00:00:50] That's what it is

[00:00:53] It's what it is now

[00:00:57] There's frost on the graves and the monuments

[00:00:59] But the taverns are warm in town

[00:01:01] People curse the government

[00:01:03] And shovel hot food down

[00:01:05] Lights are out in the city hall

[00:01:07] The castle and the keep

[00:01:08] The moon shines down upon it all

[00:01:11] The legless and asleep

[00:01:13] And it's cold on the tollgate

[00:01:15] With the wagons creeping through

[00:01:16] Cold on the tollgate

[00:01:19] God knows what I could do with you

[00:01:20] That's what it is

[00:01:25] It's what it is now

[00:01:29] The garrison sleeps in the citadel

[00:01:30] With the ghosts and the ancient stones

[00:01:32] High on the parapet

[00:01:35] A Scottish piper stands alone

[00:01:37] And high on the wind

[00:01:38] The highland drums begin to roll

[00:01:40] And something from the past just comes

[00:01:43] And stares into my soul

[00:01:45] And it's cold on the tollgate

[00:01:47] and THE DRUMS BEAT THEIR TATOO

[00:01:48] Cold on the tollgate

[00:01:50] God knows what I could do with you

[00:01:53] That's what it is

[00:01:56] It's what it is now

[00:02:00] What it is

[00:02:03] It's what it is now

[00:02:40] There's a chink of light

[00:02:41] there's a burning wick

[00:02:42] There's a lantern in the tower

[00:02:43] Wee Willie Winkie with a candlestick

[00:02:45] Still writing songs in the wee wee hours

[00:02:48] On Charlotte Street I take

[00:02:49] A WALKING stick for my hotel

[00:02:51] The ghost of Dirty Dick

[00:02:53] Is still in search of Little Nell

[00:02:56] That's what it is

[00:02:59] It's what it is now

[00:03:03] It's what it is

[00:03:07] What it is now…
