richard thompson - sunset song lyrics
with you or without you, love,
i must be moving
never meant to linger here so long
with you or without you,
though it breaks my heart
to hear the sunset song
wasn’t that a time we had,
and bless you for it
but i’m a stranger here, i don’t belong
the band’s down on the jetty,
if you cup your ear
you’ll hear the sunset song
you said, if i hold my breath
dive down deep enough
i might grow fins
seems to me i’ve held my breath
held my breath to please you
ever since
early morning, that’s the time
for fare-thee-wells
slip out of the warm sheets and gone
but i want to hear it as i walk along
hear the sunset song
in your waking, in your dreams,
i won’t be martyred
on that cross where some say
i belong
opinions are coffins, i’ll just trust my feet
to find the sunset song
every day i’ll wear your memory
like a favourite shirt upon my back
in the hallway, there’s my suitcase
by the door, i never did unpack
with you or without you, love,
i must be moving
never meant to linger here so long
with you or without you,
though it breaks my heart
to hear the sunset song
