Mark Knopfler - Silvertown Blues

Mark Knopfler - Silvertown Blues On Silvertown Way, the cranes stand high Quiet and gray against the still of the sky They won't quit and lay down though the action has died They watch the new game in town on the Blackwall side From the poisonous drains a vision appears New circle of cranes, a new reason to be here A big silver dome rising up into the dawn Above the church and the homes were all the silver is gone, gone, gone If I'd a bucket of gold, what would I do?
