[Verse 1]
With you or without you, love I must be moving
I never meant to linger here so long
With you or without you, though it breaks my heart
To hear the sunset song
To hear the sunset song

[Verse 2]
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'll hear the sunset song

[Bridge]
You said, if I held 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
Ever since

[Verse 3]
Now early morning, that's the time for fare-thee-wells
Slip out of the warm sheets and gone
But I long to hear it as I walk away
To hear the sunset song
To hear the sunset song
[Verse 4]
Now in your waking, in your dreams I'll not be martyred
On that cross where some say I belong
Opinions are coffins, I'll just trust my feet
To find the sunset song
To find the sunset song

[Bridge]
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
Never did unpack

[Verse 1]
With you or without you, love, I must be moving
I never meant to linger here so long
With you or without you, though it breaks my heart
To hear the sunset song
To hear the sunset song
To hear the sunset song
