Come to me

David Knopfler


In caged submission calling for redemption

You came to me through the eye of the storm

Coming to me through the line of  this vision

That’s bigger than the both of us. I’ll do you no wrong

Come to me


With no one to turn to and all faith broken

Down Paradise Walk, last stop Oblivion

A room full of strangers where you cry for no one

The door’s open I’ll do you no wrong


Come to me there’s only release now

Gimme a howl I’m in Paradise Park

If he’s washing you down in the blood of the beast now

Come to me if you’re lost, if you’re lost in the dark

Come to me - Come to me


With rocks of ambition, nets of repression

Stake out positions, strange obsessions

Prisoners faking abstract expression

won’t gain remission making confession


Come to me it’s bigger than the both of us

There’s no possession in Paradise Park

Through the line of vision washing over us

An arc of creation spikes the dark
