Lyrics: Mark Knopfler. Je Suis Desole.

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 ea

I am turning, turning
From a land that I loved well
Look ahead my darling one
Across 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 ea

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 ea
Je suis desole, mais je n'ai pas le choix
Je suis desole, mais la vie me demande ea
