“Tunnel of Love” is a song by the British rock band Dire Straits. It appears on the 1980 album Making Movies, and subsequently on the live albums Alchemy and Live at the BBC and the greatest hits albums Money for Nothing, Sultans of Swing: The Very Best of Dire Straits, and The Best of Dire Straits & Mark Knopfler: Private Investigations. The song was also featured in the 1982 Richard Gere film An Officer and a Gentleman and was included in the film’s accompanying soundtrack album.
The song mentions the Spanish City, a dining and entertainment center in Whitley Bay, England, which, at the time of the song’s release, housed fair rides and other amusements, referenced throughout the song. Cullercoats, an English settlement, is also referenced in the song.
Tunnel Of Love este un single de pe albumul Making Movies din 1980. Al treilea album de studio al grupului. Tunnel of Love, este una dintre cele 3 melodii Dire Straits care nu este creditată doar lui Marl Knopfler, celelate două fiind “Money For Nothing” și “What’s The Matter Baby?”. Melodia în sine, este în întregime compoziția lui Mark, dar intro instrumental este un aranjament al piesei “Carousel Waltz” din muzicalul Carousel, a lui Rodgers și Hammerstein.

The sky is crying the streets are full of tears
Rain come down wash away my fears
And all this writing on the wall
Oh I can read between the lines
Rain come down forgive this dirty town
Rain come down and give this dirty town
A drink of water a drink of wine
If I’ve been hard on you I never chose to be
I never wanted no one else
I tried my best to be somebody you’d be close to
Hand in hand like lovers are supposed to
