Love Over Gold
Dire Straits
Letra

Álbum: Love Over Gold ( 1982)

You walk out on the high wire
 you're a dancer on thin ice
 you pay no heed to the danger
 and less to advice
 your footsteps are forbidden
 but with a 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
 you've thrown your love to all the strangers
 and caution to the wind
 It takes love over gold 
and mind over matter
 to do what you do that you must
 when the things that you hold 
can fall and be shattered 
or run through your fingers like dust
