Monteleone
Mark Knopfler · Get Lucky [2009]
The chisels are calling, it's time to make sawdust
Steely reminders of things left to do
Monteleone, a mandolin's waiting for you
My fingerplane's working, gentle persuasion
I bend to the wood and I coax it to sing
Monteleone, your new one and only will ring
Monteleone, your new one and only will ring
The rain on the window, the snow on the gravel
The seasons go by to the songs in the wood
Too quick or too careless
It all could unravel, it so easily could
The chisels are calling, it's back for an encore
Back to the shavings that cover the floor
Monteleone, they're calling for you
Monteleone, they're calling for you
Steely reminders of things left to do
Monteleone, a mandolin's waiting for you
My fingerplane's working, gentle persuasion
I bend to the wood and I coax it to sing
Monteleone, your new one and only will ring
Monteleone, your new one and only will ring
The rain on the window, the snow on the gravel
The seasons go by to the songs in the wood
Too quick or too careless
It all could unravel, it so easily could
The chisels are calling, it's back for an encore
Back to the shavings that cover the floor
Monteleone, they're calling for you
Monteleone, they're calling for you
