Big Country
Last Ship Sails
The tower blocks
Looks so beautiful
In their own way
The cityscape
Is a fallen scene
Of protest on the streets
As a shadow trails
On the concrete
Separating you from me
And you from me
And you from me
The last ship sails
The last ship sails
The last ship sails
Tonight, tonight
The last ship sails
The last ship sails
The last ship sails
Tonight, tonight
The sky scrapes the horizons
Of smoke and industry
As beneath my feet
A river flows of continuity
I was not the first
I won’t be the last
To come around
Come around
Come around here
The last ship sails
The last ship sails
The last ship sails
Tonight, tonight
The last ship sails
The last ship sails
The last ship sails
Tonight, tonight
Whoa-oa
Whoa-oa
Whoa-oa
Whoa-oa
I was not the first
I won’t be the last
I was not the first
I won’t be the last
The last ship sails
The last ship sails
The last ship sails
Tonight, tonight
The last ship sails
The last ship sails
The last ship sails
Tonight, tonight
Whoa-oa
Whoa-oa
Whoa-oa
Whoa-oa
