Left home and kept on leaving,
Walked off into this morning,
Sunrise cuts the darkness,
Steps and stares with well-worn warning,
Touch down, a perfect landing,
Missing, but he? still standing, barely,

English, sunset, sun in your eyes,
Dusk sweeps over us tonight,
Rainy brixton holidays,
Red Brick Park and alleyways,
Lions roar silenced and still,
A test of strength, test of our will, waiting,

I'll aim right for you (repeat),
A waiting van a passing phase,
Phone calls from you to pass the days,
From caffeine highs to midnight blows,
Punch drunk heartache, blow by blow,
I'll wait for you in hotel rooms,
In rain soaked days we pass the gloom,
The northern star tonight will set the course,

English sunsets, sweet goodbyes,
The wind in our sails tonight,
Rainy brixton memories,
I pull myself closer to me,
The lions roar in vain tonight,
A call a distant fight someday,

I'll aim right for you (repeat),
A waiting van a passing phase,
Phone calls from you to pass the days,
From caffeine highs to midnight blows,
Punch drunk heartache, blow by blow,
I'll wait for you in hotel rooms,
In rain soaked days we pass the gloom,
The northern star tonight will set the course,
