English Sunset lyrics

I want to ride the range

Across those skies of black

I want to see for myself

And see me coming back

And when I've gone the distance

I'll be making tracks

For an English sunset.

We're on a runaway train

Rolling down the track

And where it's taking us to

Who knows where it's at

But if we hold together

We can make it back

For an English sunset

We want an English sunset.

I feel the rhythm of the earth

In my soul tonight

May it never fade away

And I've decided I can live

With humility

And the sad decay

'Cos that's the English way.

We keep the faith alive

In everything we do

And at the end of the road

We still keep coming through

And though it's sad and sorry

What else can we do

It's an English sunset

An English sunset.

I feel the rhythm of the earth

In my soul tonight

May it never fade away

And I've decided they can wait

For the requiem

We take it day by day

'Cos that's the English way

I saw the English sunset.
