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.
