nothing but rain

Mark Knopfler

On this night
More water than the world can bear
Rain and muddy water
On this night
Somebody moving
In the swamp out there
And rain, nothing but rain

I was half way to sleeping
I've tried to go back
To a forgotten railcar
On a forgotten track

Stopped there in the darkness
A forgotten train
On a night with no tomorrow
And nothing but rain

A forgotten railcar
On a forgotten track
And a child who was born there
In the deep Delta black

Tears in the darkness
A forgotten railcar
I've been trying to find you
I want to know where you are

Stopped there in the darkness
A forgotten train
On a night with no tomorrow
And nothing but rain
