Why Worry Lyrics
Some people can be bad
The things they do the things they say
I'll chase away those restless fears
That turn your blue skies into gray
There should be laughter after pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now
Why worry now
And you make sense of what I do
I know it isn't hard to say
Our love comes shinning red and gold
And all the rest is by the way
There should be laughter after pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now
Why worry now






Pretty self explanatory, meaning-wise...Beautiful song, Knopfler is a genius. I could listen to the last three minutes of it forever.

A couple of years after my dad bought the Brothers in Arms LP, he did me a cassette copy for my Sony Walkman! I was only about 8 then but this is an album that has stuck with me and is still among my top 10 albums of all time 21 years later.
There are lines in this song that give me that 'choked up' feeling every time I listen to it.
'Why worry, there should be laughter after pain There should be sunshine after rain'

Guess he likes gray skies more than blue.
ha!
ha!
okay I screwed up. it makes sense when you read that line with the lines before it wiping away the bitter tears and chasing away the restless fears which may turn her blue skies into gray. how could I get it so wrong?

I love this song. Out of interest, people should, if possible, listen to the version of this song by The Everly Brothers. It is available on their Heartaches And Harmonies collection, and, plenty of downloading programs, although now they've been crapped upon - pardon my language - It's probably worth checking the Everly's version on CD or tape.

This song has quickly become one of my all-time favorites, although it's the kind that you can't just share everyone. You can't cheapen this kind of beauty; this is like a poem. It sounded like a nursery song being sung to a babe, before I even looked at the lyrics. Silly though it seems, it takes me back to my young childhood. For some reason, it reminds me of the cartoon movie Robin Hood, when they're all sitting in jail...
So why worry now...

Im pretty sure this song is not written by dire straights. Some greek artist wrote it, she was in the news last year cos she died. Forgot her name...

I love that this song is included in the album because it is light and easy. No great metaphors to wrap your brain around, just a nice song to enjoy.

Just flat out beautiful.

totaly agree with tpf usually knopfler's lyrics are not that obvious, and that makes them amazing. but even with simple, light songs, he shows he can write beautiful lyrics
