I'm tired of being in love and being all alone When you're so far away from me. I'm tired of making out on the telephone Because you're so far away f… - Mark Knopfler

But it's written in the starlight
And every line in your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms.

I can see what you're looking to find
In the smile on my face
In my peace of mind
In my state of grace
I send what I can
To the man from the ministry
He's a part of heaven's plan
And he talks to me
Now I send what I can to the man
With the diamond ring

You get to meet all sorts in this line of work
Treachery and treason, there's always an excuse for it
And when I find the reason, I still can't get used to it
And what have you got at the end of the day?
What have you got to take away?
A bottle of whisky and a new set of lies
