Matchstick Man

Mark Knopfler

Transposer:

| / | | / | | So there he was then Penzance to play Christmas Eve in a nowhere band Now early morning Christmas Day He’s hitching home to Geordieland Last night the snow came just my luck And who the hell do you think you are Climbing up into that truck With your old bag and your guitar And you you would-be vagabond No-one invited you you know Matchstick man up in the dawn You’ve got five hundred miles to go | | / | | / | | / | / | / | | The driver now must drop off his load The snow still laying thick on the ground Leaves him on a high crossroads Where he can see for miles around The sun is shining sky is blue And everything is white and bare Not a car comes into view There’s nothing moving anywhere And you you would-be vagabond No-one invited you you know Matchstick man you speck upon These vast and silent plains of snow | / | | / | |

La chanson raconte l'histoire d'un musicien qui, après une performance à Penzance, se retrouve à faire du stop pour rentrer chez lui, en Geordieland, le jour de Noël. La nuit précédente, la neige est tombée, rendant son voyage plus difficile. Alors qu'il monte dans un camion, il réalise à quel point il est isolé, un vagabond sans invitation, contemplant un paysage vaste et silencieux recouvert de neige. Ce moment de solitude illustre à la fois le désespoir et l'espoir d'un homme qui, malgré les épreuves, avance sur son chemin.
