MARK KNOPFLER, RESTLESS FAREWELL, (on the seashore), Originally the song comes from the Scottish folk tune: ”The Parting Glass”; This is Mark Knopfler`s cover with His Lyrics:
Oh, all the money in my whole life I spent, (Be it mine right, or wrongfully), 
I let it slip gladly past the hands of my friends 
To tie up the time most forcefully
But the bottles are done, we've killed each one  
And the tables are full and overflowed 
And the corner sign says, "It's closing time", 
So I'll bid farewell and be down the road
Oh, every girl that ever I've touched, I did not do it harmfully 
And every girl that ever I've hurt I did not do it knowingly, 
But to remain as friends, you need the time 
To make amends and stay behind 
And since my feet are now fast and point away from the past 
I'll bid farewell and be down the line
Oh, every foe that ever I faced, The cause was there before we came 
And every cause that ever I fought it full without regret or shame
But the dark does die As the curtain is drawn And somebody's eyes 
Must meet the dawn And if I see the day I'll only have to stay, 
So I'll bid farewell in the night and be gone
Oh, a false clock tries to tick out my time 
To disgrace, distract and bother me 
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face 
And the dust of rumours covers me
But if the arrow is straight and the point is slick, 
It can pierce through the dust no matter how thick, 
So I'll make my stand and remain as I am 
And bid farewell and not give a damn
