Love over gold [live] Songtext
von Dire Straits

Yeah, you walk out on the high wire
You′re a dancer on ice
Pay no heed to the danger
And less to advice
And your footsteps are forbidden
But with the knowledge of your sin
You throw your love to all the strangers
Then the caution to the wind


Yeah, you go dancing through the doorways
Just to see what you gonna find, yeah
Leaving nothing to interfere
With the crazy balance of your mind
When you finally reappear
At the place where you came in
You've thrown your love to all the strangers
And the caution to the wind

And then take love over the gold, you got the mind over matter
When you do what you do, that you must
When the things that you hold, well, they can fall and be shattered
They can run through your fingers like dust

Thank you
