One More Matinee Lyrics

Cover art for One More Matinee lyrics by Mark Knopfler

Touching song. I don't know exactly, but I feel this was written for someone who Mark actually met. It wouldn't surprise me if some of the quotes in this song are directly from a conversation he had. I'd love to know who this song was about. His songs are either about someone or something close to his heart. The general meaning is clear but I get the distinct impression that there is something profoundly personal here as well.
