Richard Thompson - Sunset Song Lyrics
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
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
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

Richard Thompson Sunset Song Comments
Unbelievable talent, writing, playing, and singing !
Masterpiece rendered masterfully.
I get a feeling he'd think this a simple accompaniment.
This is breath taking. The more I play guitar the more I believe he is the greatest guitarist of our age, maybe ever. 1. quantity 2. quality 3. versatility between acoustic &electric and also between genre's etc....... 4. the sheer amount of touring he's done solo. 5. He is singing and playing, much harder than playing alone. A virtuoso with hundreds of thousands of hours on an instrument . He can pick or strum , he played this song with the ease you or I would walk to the car.
awe inspiring
