The sky is crying the streets are full of tears, rain come down wash away my fears and all this writing on the wall -- I can read between the lines. Rain come down, forgive this dirty town; rain come down and give this dirty town a drink of water, a drink of wine.

Dire Straits, Romeo and Juliet, 1980
A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
Finds a streetlight, steps out of the shade
Says something like “You and me babe: how ‘bout it?” … https://cctm.website/dire-straits-romeo-and-juliet/#direstraits #music #fediradio #cctmwebsite #anoipiaceleggere #leggere

Well, it’s after 11 “Chicago time” and I reckon I should tone it down a bit with one of Knopfler’s best tunes IMHO.

#DireStraitsI've been too and long lonely and my heart feels pain Crying out for some soothing rain
I believe I have taken enough
Yes I need a little Water Of Love
Water Of Love
Deep in the ground
But there ain't no water here to be found
Some day baby when the river runs free
It's gonna carry that Water Of Love to me -

Probably the last one before the footy. For some reason, and let’s be honest, we never know the reasons, this has been playing on my mind all evening. I will now close my eyes and enjoy until kick off. #vinyl #DireStraits #MarkKnopfler #NowPlaying
