Mark Knopfler, "Heart full of holes:"

“ All my yesterdays broken
a watch with no face
all battered and old
Bits of the movement
all over the place
and a heart full of holes
A heart full of holes
A heart full of holes”

- Mark Knopfler

MISSING

I have been fighting like mad for you all
Some of you died, some of you live
I banged my head against this wall
Only have me, my battered heart, to give


I don’t want to ever go back,
Never see those surroundings again
But I miss you all, my boys, my pack
Will it ever be with peace, feel like gain?


Did I do this only to lose you all?
To be torn away from you?
I am banging this iron clad wall
Let me see you, if only a few…
