Been wrapping presents tonight...it has turned into a Dire Straits marathon....I have replayed this song about five times now. Listening to the closing of the song, the interplay of the keyboards and Mark Knopfler's guitar is so intensely sensuous, with the sounds wrapping around each other and then punctuated by the mournful wail of the guitar and with the constant rhythm of the base in the background, the picture that develops in my mind, as I close my eyes, is that of the sounds flowing around each other in a gentle and graceful act of love making.

Brothers in Arms


These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Some day you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn
To be brothers in arms

Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I've witnessed your suffering
As the battles raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms

There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones

Now the sun's gone to hell
And the moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the starlight
And every line on your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms
