| Mark Knopfler – The Ragpicker's Dream Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
One of my favorite songs of all time. I have to disagree a little with Crom on some parts though. I think this a even a little more literal and straight forward than you do. I never got the sense that they were in a restaurant, the two men in my interpretation would not have the means. I think they do stumble upon a house and daydream they are on the other side of that window. I love how he keeps referring to "me and my associate" lending a certain dignity to these men ( which in my version they undoubtably deserve). There is such a beautiful sadness to this song that I can't let a Christmas go by without it on my short holiday playlist. |
