(Mark Knopfler)
It gets so dark before the dawn
That's when it gets to me,
Before the city symphony of taxi horns
That's the way it always starts,
Sitting here and waiting on the beating of my heart
Last night I thought I heard my name
Where it was too dark to see, but it had to be
The voice was just the same
That's the way it always starts,
Sitting here and waiting on the beating of my heart
So tell me why should I have to be this way
Why can't it be all right?
Why cant I sleep all night?
Why should I have to be this way?
Why must there be this price to pay?
Now all the streets are dark and bare
Oh if you can leave this town
And stick around, you can live anywhere
That's the way it always starts,
Sitting here and waiting on the beating of my heart
