Setting Sun Songtext
von New Model Army

You can journey deep inside or out to the world
At the end you′ll find the same
The overgrown pathways lead all the way back to the place
From where we came
There's a beach that we go to, to feel a breath of faraway
One time down by the water′s edge
As all the light turned burnished gold
And looking back along the cliffs tops a hundred people from everywhere
Just standing in silence
All just staring at the setting sun


There's a swollen river running through our lives
Of course it's faster every day
Takes familiar things we know and love and carries them away
There′s always sadness in the heroes eyes
What to do after the victory parade?
All was left on the mountainside
Returning to a world that had changed
We become like a people listening for the bells
Of a church submerged a hundred years ago
All just staring at the setting sun

All just staring at the setting sun

Our spirits are all such restless things like the flying snow
The tangle of paths all lead at the end to the western shore
In a glimmering lights we could watch the future come in the coiling of clouds
Infinity calls, I′m comming back
I'm comming back, I′m comming back

Over the waves and scaterred islands, I'm flying into the horizon

(All just staring at the setting sun)
All just staring at the setting sun)

(All just staring at the setting sun)
(All just staring at the setting sun)

Over the oceans, over the mountains
To the horizon

(All just staring at the setting sun)
(All just staring at the setting sun)
