Lyric discussion by Simdru 

Cover art for Prairie Wedding lyrics by Mark Knopfler

I'm not sure why, but this is my favourite of all Knopfler's songs, and I've listened to them all hundreds of times! It is just a beautiful, tender, yet haunting song. It has special meaning to me also because one of the first times I met my wife was on a train platform in London, and I will never forget how beautiful she looked that day. 'Like an Angel', as Knopfler says.

@Simdru I didn´t have the same experience but I had thid album on repeat as i drove from England to Spain in 2008 and this song always sounded so human, so believable. I can´t quite articulate it.
