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
