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.
