Mark Knopfler - Your Leading Man (One Deep River Deluxe)

‘One Deep River (Deluxe)'
The greenkeeper rolls himself a smoke
And watches her walk by
Tall and poised and beautiful
Lets out a sigh
Down in the allotments
They put their plants in pots
Go home to watch some Wimbledon
Doze off to snooker shots
And I’m flying
Through the starry night
High over distant lands
And I dream you’re lying in my arms
And I’m your leading man
Your leading man
Darling, I’m your leading man
Muggy garden centres
Stuffy afternoons
Teapots, cups and saucers
Sugar, milk and spoons
Bottles go back on doorsteps
Tools go back in sheds
They clear away the dishes
Get ready for their beds
And I’m flying
Through the starry night
High over distant lands
And I dream you’re lying in my arms
And I’m your leading man
Your leading man
Darling, I’m your leading man
Well the caretaker steals glances
As she waits outside the school
Tall and poised and beautiful
Elegant and cool
And now the kids are spilling out
Laughing and chattering
Home for tea and fame TV
And a quiet night in
And I’m flying
Through the starry night
High over distant lands
And I dream you’re lying in my arms
And I’m your leading man
Your leading man
Darling, I’m your leading man
Your leading man
Darling, I’m your leading man
