I got into my car to go on a long ride up the mountain late in the night. This song just made it perfect. My brother and I have been following you since 80’s and he wants to have a singalong with me in the car. Thanks Mark. You are one consummate artist. 🙏🏽
I am an 11-year-old child. Knopfler has captured my dreams ever since my family made me listen to it when I was a baby. I listened to all his songs thousands of times without getting bored. He is a legend.
This song introduced me to Mark's music and now I can't stop listening to it. I love the subject matter of this song and how it is told through the lyrics and the music.
Mark Knopfler, did you sail commercially at some point in your life? This song perfectly captures watching that last line being cast off, the isolation of living and working on the water and the longing to go home. Well done sir, very well done.
We're taking on the water, diesel and stores Layin' up awhile before I'm back on board They're patching her up To go fishin' again, fishin' again Weldin' her rudder, scrubbin' her keel Scars on her belly need time to heal In the dock With the trawlermen I know all the people There's nobody new Soon we'll be leavin' with the same old crew On the greener water The tumbling sea They ain't running like the good old days Time's just slipping down the old slipways In the dock So dear to me Dark is the night And I need a guiding light to keep me From founderin' on the rocks My only prayer Is just to see you there at the end Of my wandering back in the dock La Lalala Laa lala Laa lala I could use a layoff getting my strength back But there's a loan to pay off and a few skipjack So it's a turnaround Back in the southerly wind, southerly wind Pirates coming in to steal our gold You can count yourself lucky with a profit in the hold In the dock When we come in Dark is the night And I need a guiding light to keep me From founderin' on the rocks My only prayer Is just to see you there at the end Of my wandering back in the dock Back in the dock Laa lala Laa lala
There was a song by Mark Knopfler that I heard around the time the "Wag the dog" soundtrack came out. From what I remember the song had lyrics about the sea, the sail, the sailor, or maybe about a sailor's or fisherman's wife. Does anyone know what the name of that song is? I really liked it back then, and I'd love to hear it again.
Could it be Darling Pretty by MK. I am not sure it fits your description exactly but may be close and was released 2 yrs earlier so you may have heard it then Other songs could be: Sailing To Philadelphia In The Sky
@@n.m.sh.8706 Just two more suggestions: 1. Dream Of The Drowned Submariner. It is a gorgeous song about a submariner and his daughter. or 2. Golden Heart (this one is more obscure that it is about a sailor. Another beautiful song).
@@gageb28-95 thank you, but that's not the one, the one that I heard sounded like it was recorded around the time of "Wag the dog" and "Golden heart" albums.

I wish I knew you.I'm tired of belting this out on my own.

Fantastic song. The voice, the guitar, perfect. 💓💞💗💝💖
Yes
Dear Mark, everything you write, sing and play is forever! Absolutely beautiful, for all time!!!🤗

とても素晴らしい曲ですね
マーク・ノップラーは天才の上です🎉
This song brings chills, tears, and smiles ! I can't get enough of the " wandering back in the docks"....
, second verse
Una de esas canciones que tienen algo muy especial, la tiene o no la tiene y esta es de piel de gallina, a disfrutarla
Perfect harmony 🥰
Excellent
Maravillosa genio🎶🎸➡️♥️
The best of the best
Mark numero 1 al mondo❤️
Hunnn...happy right now. Big kiss
We're taking on the water, diesel and stores
Layin' up awhile before I'm back on board
They're patching her up
To go fishin' again, fishin' again
Weldin' her rudder, scrubbin' her keel
Scars on her belly need time to heal
In the dock
With the trawlermen
I know all the people
There's nobody new
Soon we'll be leavin' with the same old crew
On the greener water
The tumbling sea
They ain't running like the good old days
Time's just slipping down the old slipways
In the dock
So dear to me
Dark is the night
And I need a guiding light to keep me
From founderin' on the rocks
My only prayer
Is just to see you there at the end
Of my wandering back in the dock
La
Lalala
Laa lala
Laa lala
I could use a layoff getting my strength back
But there's a loan to pay off and a few skipjack
So it's a turnaround
Back in the southerly wind, southerly wind
Pirates coming in to steal our gold
You can count yourself lucky with a profit in the hold
In the dock
When we come in
Dark is the night
And I need a guiding light to keep me
From founderin' on the rocks
My only prayer
Is just to see you there at the end
Of my wandering back in the dock
Back in the dock
Laa lala
Laa lala

@@khenry458 Thank you for the suggestions, but it's not one of these songs. The mystery still remains.
@@n.m.sh.8706 Just two more suggestions:
1. Dream Of The Drowned Submariner.

or
2. Golden Heart (this one is more obscure that it is about a sailor. Another beautiful song).
single handed sailor?
