Lyrics Big Country

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
