Sunset Song Lyrics - Sweet Warrior - 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 

Photos 

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
