One Deep River, out now: markknopfler.lnk.to/odr
My hunter’s heart may not be merciless
But on this day of freezing snow
It’s as cold as the heart of the ice princess
Who didn’t want to know
I take my orders, ask few questions
It’s no real life for a decent man
Few clear cut lines or regulations
Low on prospects and future plans
If you should hearken to the devil’s bidding
Perchance you’ll bring me work to do
It may not be my heart’s true calling
But I will surely come for you
To you who live by rape and plunder
I’ll shoot or hang with scant remorse
My Old Reliable the avenging thunder
Else my rope and faithful horse
Your late companion in haste repented
I had him take a ride with me
Through this poor country he had so tormented
Until we came to the highest tree
He did reveal in his confession
That you were making for the train
This bitter snow will soon be melting
And nothing sweeter than the rain

Mr. Knofler, I love this song so much. I play it over and over. It’s my favorite on the cd. So sensitive and beautiful. There is nothing sweeter than the sound of your guitar. It has been an honor growing up with you.
This is not a song but a western movie directed by the Maestro Mark Knopfler. Incredible and imaginative music, lyrics and vocals. Thank you Mark.
Sweeter than tears... Thanks M. Knopfler for this masterpiece.
Brilliant story of the classic Western epoch, splendidly told by the master Mark Knopfler. I think it's a true Masterpiece, at least the best composition and song on the album. Bravo, Mark the Greatest. What a brilliant swan song, one of the best of swan songs I've ever seen and heard in art as a whole, worth to be told. Elegent. I will traverse you over Styx carefully, don't worry.
Mark knopfler une légende !! Formidable artiste ! Cela fait 40ans qu il m accompagner.💕👏👍
mOI,... Cela fait 50 ans,😏😤😜
Mark Knopfler’ s unique style that lets your mind travel!
This is the song off the album....that just plays out in my head....its sensational. Thank you Maestro Mark.
My god, the way Knopfler plays the guitar, just makes one melt.
Mark's music is enchanting as ever, his lyrics getting more and more introspective, it's a good wine ageing beautifully. No silly young lookalike pathetic imitations, following his path to his roots. There was a time for Dire Straits, now it's the time for MK's solo journey.
❤Grande MARK sempre unuvo e inconfondibile qualunque canzone canti e mitico duono della sua chitarra 🎸 🎸 ❤❤❤❤😊😊
