Last Ship Sails - Big Country

Last Ship Sails Lyrics

The tower blocks
Looks so beautiful
In their own wayThe cityscape
Is a fallen scene
Of protest on the streetsAs a shadow trails
On the concrete
Separating you from me
And you from me
And you from meThe 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, tonightThe sky scrapes the horizons
Of smoke and industryAs beneath my feet
A river flows of continuityI was not the first

I won't be the last
To come around
Come around
Come around hereThe 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, tonightWhoa-oa
Whoa-oaWhoa-oa
Whoa-oaI was not the first
I won't be the lastI was not the first
I won't be the lastThe last ship sails
The last ship sails
The last ship sails
Tonight, tonightThe last ship sails
The last ship sails
The last ship sails
Tonight, tonightWhoa-oa
Whoa-oaWhoa-oa
Whoa-oa
