Richard Thompson - Sunset Song - Текст песни

(Richard Thompson) 

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
