Siren Sunsets by David Knopfler Lyrics

There's a list to the right
On this sinking ship
Crimson clouds alight
At the sunset

There's a shift to the right
On this dying ship
All those blues in the night
After sunset

All my words have been blowin' away
All my dreams for this dark ballet
Now I know that we just can't stay
For siren sunsets

No heroes to light the way
From our failing ship
Drowning alone on Independence Day
Under siren sunsets

All my words have been blowin' away
Fallacies and a passion play
And a circle of stars that we're folding away
For siren sunsets
It's a brave new dawn
Trapped in a tourniquet
And a spangle of stars
We gave away
For siren sunsets
For a shadow play
For siren sunsets
Siren sunsets
