Love Over Gold (Live At Hammersmith Odeon, London/1983)

Love Over Gold

Ar: Dire Straits

Al: Love Over Gold

By: Sam Floyd

You walk out on the high wire

Youre dancer on thin ice

You pay no heed to the danger

And less to advice

Your footsteps are forbidden

But with knowledge of your sin

You throw your love to all the strangers

And caution to the wind

And you go dancing through doorways

Just to see what you will find

Leaving nothing to interfere

With the crazy balance of your mind

And when you finally reappear

At the place where you came in

Youre thrown your love to all the strangers

And caution to the wind

I takes love over gold

And mind over matter

To do what you to that you must

When the things that you hold

Can fall and be shattered

Or run through your fingers like dust
