je suis desole

mark knopfler

we are leaving

leaving

leaving on the tide

come and stand beside me love

the water is so wide

you can hear the sailors calling

at the dawning of the day

yesterday is falling

love

and je suis desole

je suis desole

je suis desole

mais je n'ai pas le choix

je suis desole

mais la vie me demande ca

i am turning

turning

from a land that i loved well

look ahead my darling one

amark cross the rolling swell

and you can hear the seagulls crying

as we're slipping out of the bay

yesterday is dying

love

and je suis desole

je suis desole

je suis desole

mais je n'ai pas le choix

je suis desole

mais la vie me demande ca

we are sailing

sailing

for a land that's proud and free

i had no more endurance

for what had become of me

and i will do that which i must do

love

and now we're under way

all that i can say to you is

je suis desole

je suis desole

mais je n'ai pas le choix

je suis desole

mais la vie me demande ca

je suis desole

mais je n'ai pas le choix

je suis desole

mais la vie me demande ca
