@ARTIST: Dire Straits @ALBUM: Dire Straits @SONG: DOWN TO THE WATERLINE Sweet surrender on the quayside You remember we used to run and hide In the shadow of the cargoes I take you one time And we�re counting all the numbers down to the waterline Near misses on the dogleap stairways French kisses in the darkened doorways A foghorn blowing out wild and cold A policeman shines a light upon my shoulder Up cames a coaster fast and silent in the night Over my shoulder all you can see are the pilot lights No money in our jackets and our jeans are torn Your hands are cold but your lips are warm She can see him on the jetty where they used to go She can feel him in the places where the sailors go When she�s walking by the river and the railway line She can still hear him whisper Let�s go down to the waterline @SONG: WATER OF LOVE High and dry in the long hot day Lost and lonely in every way Got the flats all around me sky up above I need a little water of love I�ve been too long lonely and my heart feels pain Crying out for some soothing rain I believe I have taken enough I need a little water of love Water of love deep in the ground No water here to be found Some day baby when the river runs free It�ll carry that water of love to me There�s a bird up in a tree sitting up high Waiting for me to die If I don�t get some water soon I�ll be dead and gone in the afternoon Once I had a woman I could call my own Once I had a woman now my woman is gone Once there was a river now there�s a stone You know it�s evil when you�re living alone @SONG: SETTING ME UP You say I�m the greatest bound for glory Well the word is out and I learned I got the latest side of the story You�re pulling out before you get burned Well your hands are squeezing me down to the bone I never saw you breaking no law Stands to reason I�ve got to leave you alone What you taking me for You�re setting me up to put me down You�re making me out to be your clown You�re just setting me up to put me down You better give it up Quit your messing around You think I care about your reaction You think I don�t understand All you wanted was a piece of the action Now you talk about another man
