This is what sets Knopfler apart from most others, not only is he one of the best guitar players out there but is also a great songwriter. I mean really- tonight your beauty burns into my memory, the wheel of heaven turns above us endlessly. To be able to match that with an appropriate melody, guitar parts etc. takes a real gift. I don't believe in reading too much into the lyrics of a song. Let the words and music tell the story. This is a beautifully written song where the writer has everything has everything he could possibly want at this particular moment.
