Lyrics Along A Foreign Coast - Mark Knopfler

In a silhouette, the slumbering growth
Against the twilight sky
An arch of stars to spand the cold
In dusk, now in dark, they lie
In dusk, now in dark, they lie

His privateer is anchored and rides
Along a foreign coast
And now his cherished guest must ride
And so must leave her home
And so she must leave her home

And the simple thing he will press her to take
A seal for their time alone
Set in silver, full of sake
A seagreen precious stone
A seagreen precious stone
