Silvertown Blues Lyrics

Cover art for Silvertown Blues lyrics by Mark Knopfler

Vastly under-rated song.

To me, it always reminds me of Buffalo, NY. Some say "A dying city", a "shrinking city". Yet others say "A vibrant city", a "hopeful city".

A city past it's prime and part of the rust belt? Or a city shaking off it's old demons and emerging fresh and new?

Great song, either ways.
