Along A Foreign Coast
Mark Knopfler
[Verse 1]
In a silhouette the slumbering grove against a twilight sky
An arch of stars to span the cove
In dusk, now in dark they lie
In dusk, now in dark they lie
[Verse 2]
His privateer in anchored and rides along a foreign coast
And now his cherished guest must rise
And so must leave her host
And so she must leave her host
[Verse 3]
And a simple thing he will press her to take, a seal for their time alone
Set in silver for love's sake
A sea green precious stone
A sea green prеcious stone
