[Verse 1: Mark Knopfler]
They say there's wreckage washing up
All along the coast
No one seems to know too much
Or who got hit the most
Nothing has been spoken
There's not a lot to see
But something has been broken
That's how it feels to me
[Verse 2: Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris, Mark Knopfler]
We had a harmony
I never meant to spoil
Now it's lying in the water
Like a slick of oil
The tide is running out to sea
Under a darkening sky
The night is falling down on me
And I'm thinking that I, should
[Chorus: Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris, Mark Knopfler, Emmylou Harris]
Head on home
Head on home
Been gone too long
Gone too long
Leave my roaming beachcombing
They say there's wreckage washing up
All along the coast
No one seems to know too much
Or who got hit the most
Nothing has been spoken
There's not a lot to see
But something has been broken
That's how it feels to me
[Verse 2: Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris, Mark Knopfler]
We had a harmony
I never meant to spoil
Now it's lying in the water
Like a slick of oil
The tide is running out to sea
Under a darkening sky
The night is falling down on me
And I'm thinking that I, should
[Chorus: Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris, Mark Knopfler, Emmylou Harris]
Head on home
Head on home
Been gone too long
Gone too long
Leave my roaming beachcombing
