Sweet Warrior
Sunset Song
With you or without you love I must be moving
Never meant to linger here so long
With you or without you know it breaks my heart
To hear the sunset song,
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'll hear
the sunset song
You said if I held my breath,
dived down deep enough I might grow fins
Seems to me I held my breath,
held my breath to please you ever since,
ever since
Early morning that's the time for fare-thee-wells
Slip out of the warm sheets and go
But I want to hear it as I walk away
To hear the sunset song,
to hear the sunset song
In your waking, in your dreams I'll not be martyred
On that cross where some say I belong
Opinions are coffins I'll just trust my feet
To find the sunset song,
to find
the sunset song
Every day I wear your memory
like a favourite shirt upon my back
In the hallway there's my suitcase by the door -
I never did unpack,
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 know it breaks my heart
To hear the sunset song,
to hear the sunset song
To hear
the sunset song
