Last Ship Sales - Big Country

The tower blocks

Look so beautiful

In their own way

The cityscape

Is a forest scene

Of bridges and of 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

For home

For home

For home

For home

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

For home

For home

For home

For home
