    Mark does't treat his guitar like a guitar, but as an equal band-member. Sometimes Mark sings, sometimes the guitar sings, sometimes they sing a duet, but they never interrupt each other.

    It isn't flashy, it isn't stylish, it isn't extravagant in any way.
    But it is with out a doubt, one of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard.
    A true feat of musicianship.

    What it is - Mark knopfler lyrics
    The drinking dens are spilling out
    There's staggering in the square
    There's lads and lasses falling about
    And a crackling in the air
    Down around the dungeon doors
    The shelters and the queues
    Everybody's looking for
    Somebody's arms to fall into
    And it's what it is
    It's what it is now
    There's frost on the graves and the monuments
    But the taverns are warm in town
    People curse the government
    And shovel hot food down
    The lights are out in city hall
    The castle and the keep
    The moon shines down upon it all
    The legless and asleep
    And it's cold on the tollgate
    With the wagons creeping through
    Cold on the tollgate
    God knows what I could do with you
    And it's what it is
    It's what it is now
    The garrison sleeps in the citadel
    With the ghosts and the ancient stones
    High up on the parapet
    A Scottish piper stands alone
    And high on the wind
    The highland drums begin to roll
    And something from the past just comes
    And stares into my soul
    And it's cold on the tollgate
    With the Caledonian blues
    Cold on the tollgate
    God knows what I could do with you
    And it's what it is
    It's what it is now
    What it is
    It's what it is now
    There's a chink of light, there's a burning wick
    There's a lantern in the tower
    Wee willie winkie with a candlestick
    Still writing songs in the wee wee hours
    On Charlotte Street
    I take A walking stick from my hotel
    The ghost of Dirty Dick
    Is still in search of little nell
    And it's what it is
    It's what it is now
    Oh, it's what it is
    What it is now

    Remember this from my childhood. I'm born 91. God, I was like 10 years old. Remember it was on the radio! Now almost half of my family is dead and this makes me think of that times when I still had them. Gooosh it made me a bit teary. But I'm ok. Just having one of those days. This was beautiful. Love the guitar and the voice! ❤ cheers from Sweden

    Quem deu "deslike" só pode ser brasileiro "funkeiro" de favela que não tem a menor noção do que é música de verdade. Mais do que música, Mark Knopfler é "cultura".

    The drinking dens are spilling out
    There's staggering in the square
    There's lads and lasses falling about
    And a crackling in the air
    Down around the dungeon doors
    The shelters and the queues
    Everybody's looking for
    Somebody's arms to fall into
    [Chorus]
    That's what it is
    It's what it is now
    [Verse 2]
    There's frost on the graves and the monuments
    But the taverns are warm in town
    People curse the government
    And shovel hot food down
    Lights are out in the city hall
    The castle and the keep
    The moon shines down upon it all
    The legless and asleep
    And it's cold on the tollgate
    With the wagons creeping through
    Cold on the tollgate
    God knows what I could do with you
    [Chorus]
    That's what it is
    It's what it is now
    [Verse 3]
    The garrison sleeps in the citadel
    With the ghosts and the ancient stones
    High on the parapet
    A Scottish piper stands alone
    And high on the wind
    The highland drums begin to roll
    And something from the past just comes
    And stares into my soul
    And it's cold on the tollgate
    With a Caledonian blues
    Cold on the tollgate
    God knows what I could do with you
    [Chorus]
    That's what it is
    It's what it is now
    What it is
    It's what it is now
    [Guitar Solo]
    [Verse 4]
    There's a chink of light, there's a burning wick
    There's a lantern in the tower
    Wee Willie Winkie with a candlestick
    Still writing songs in the wee wee hours
    On Charlotte Street I take
    A walking stick for my hotel
    The ghost of Dirty Dick
    Is still in search of Little Nell
    [Chorus]
    That's what it is
    It's what it is now
    It's what it is
    What it is now…
