Follow The Ribbon - Mark Knopfler
The day's been a while fading

Seems like we have slowed

My eyes are getting weary

Can barely see the road

Been a while since we left behind the city lights

There's just a line winding through the night

Yesterday's lie scattered

Like broken swords and shields

Like the used up shells and bullets

On a hundred battlefields

When, I think of all the close calls

Both sides of love and death

Sometimes I can hardly get my breath

But I'll follow the ribbon anyhow

I'll follow the ribbon

That's all right for now

Up in the high country

Or down where the river flows

Wherever it goes

Don't care if they like it

Don't care if they don't

Never did much care about

If they will or won't

If all you want to know is acorns

Rootin' me a patch of earth

What can you praise

That's really any worth

I'm just living with the ringing

Of tomorrow's ancient rhymes

The road ahead may be shorter

Than the one we left behind

If there's whiskey in the bottle

Leave some for me

I'll get to it, eventually

I'll follow the ribbon

By the cold lagoon

Follow the ribbon

Under the helpless moon

Winding through the dark hills

Where a million stars a-falls

Wherever it goes
