Telegraph Road Lyrics Artist(Band):Dire Straits
Walking thirty miles with a sack on his back And he put down his load where he thought it was the best Made a home in the wilderness Built a cabin and a winter store And he ploughed up the ground by the cold lake shore The other travellers came walking down the track And they never went further, no, they never went back Then came the churches then came the schools Then came the lawyers then came the rules Then came the trains and the trucks with their load And the dirty old track was the telegraph road Then came the mines and then came the ore Then there was the hard times then there was a war Telegraph sang a song about the world outside Telegraph road got so deep and so wide Like a rolling river ... And my radio says tonight it's gonna freeze People driving (home) from the factories There's six lanes of traffic Three lanes moving slow ... I used to like to go to work but they shut it down I've got a right to go to work but there's no work here to be found Yes and they say we're gonna have to pay what's owed We're gonna have to reap from some seed that's been sowed And the birds up on the wires and the telegraph poles They can always fly away from this rain and this cold You can hear them singing out their telegraph code All the way down the telegraph road I'd sooner forget but I remember those nights When life was just a bet on the race between the light You had your head on my shoulder you had your hand in my hair Now you act a little colder like you don't seem to care ... But believe in me baby and I'll take you away From out of this darkness and into the day From these rivers of headlights these river of rain From the anger that lives on the streets with these names 'cos I've run every red light on memory lane I've seen desperation explode into flames And I don't want to see it again ... From all of these signs saying 'I'm sorry but we're closed' All the way down the telegraph road If you find some error in Telegraph Road Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

Review about Telegraph Road Telegraph Road | Reviewer: Fred Herrmann | 8/16/2008 And it kept it all ! | Reviewer: G.T | 7/18/2008 I had the luck to listen to this one, late at night... Not kidding, it was during Mark Knopfler playing "solo" (eer that means without Dire Straits, but with some great musicians too) on April this year. The song is still as strong as it was at the time it was released. It was a great live too, no matter what some reviewers wrote in the papers. Awesome | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/6/2007 Probably my best song ever. Period. The lyrics, instrumentals and passion within this song are truely mind blowing and it is impossible to tire from listening to it. In my opinion, Dire Straits' best song and it deserves to be as popular as money for nothing and romeo and juliet. My best part is first 2 minutes, the opening with the beautiful piano work mixed with the haunting sound of silence, perhaps representing the potential industrial boom waiting to happen. Excellent. fascinating | Reviewer: appolodor | 6/23/2007 this song is really amazing..no more words,just music and feeling. Telegraph Road | Reviewer: tokugawa_miyako | 5/29/2007 This is an awesome song- one of my all time favorites. It takes you through a story using both the music and the lyrics. It has several musical parts that all have a sort of similar theme (two chords in particular kept appearing throughout the song, I noticed). Plus, it's also a very timely song for the state of Michigan (where Telegraph Road is). Michigan is in an economic depression now because of the automotive industry among other things and the verses about unemployment describe this perfectly, even though Dire Straits wrote this years before. hmm... Great song. | Reviewer: tokugawa_miyako | 5/29/2007 This is an awesome song- one of my all time favorites. It takes you through a story using both the music and the lyrics.
