Lady Writer Lyrics

Cover art for Lady Writer lyrics by Dire Straits

This is a great song! One must be tone deaf to compare this song with the Sultans of Swing and benchmarking against that! They are two different songs, two different creations.

I like the way some folks have interpreted the part "I recall my fall from grace". But I still keep wondering did he insinuate to a "sin" he committed; if so what is the sin he is referring to? Or did he just mean that he had lost a commanding position?
