Sculptress Songtext
von David Knopfler

Sunrise on the bay
Sculptress of the island
Shapes faces from the clay
Sunrise sees her smiling

Or is she smiling?
She paints the endless wave

Paints the endless wave
No pain, no suffering
Her picture draws us in
Brush strokes upon her skin
Perfect skin


Don′t be sad, don't be sad
Don′t be sad, don't be sad
Don't be sad, don′t be sad
Don′t be sad, don't be sad

Feel the warming sand
Salt dry sculpted hands
Caressing sighs
Madness with shinin′ eyes

Remembers words I said
She'd be here this day
Remembering that smile
Once she disbelieved me
Some prediction made

She makes faces that dance in her dreams
Her breathless dreams


Don′t be sad, don't be sad
Don′t be sad, don't be sad
Don't be sad, don′t be sad
Don′t be sad, don't be sad
