Lyrics
As sure as the sun rises in the east
As long as time runs true
While the moon turns the tide
Though I roam far and wide
I will always return to you
I'll always come back to you
I climbed up on St James Hill to watch the sun arise
With the dawn chorus screaming in a bright new summer's day
A tide of vivid colour slowly swept across the city
I stood and watched in wonder, it stole my breath away
But I'm sleepless again
And I can't recall when
I have ever felt so alone
Red-eyed and listless
Wasted and shiftless
It seems I'm a long way from home
As sure as the sun rises in the east
As long as time runs true
While the moon turns the tide
Though I roam far and wide
I will always return to you
I'll always come back to you
I stood and watched a thunderstorm break over Holkham gap
With the first great claps of thunder ringing in my ears
And as the lightning forked against the vast black clouds above the skyline
I said there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be than standing here
But I'm sleepless again
And I can't recall when
I have ever felt so alone
Red-eyed and listless
Wasted and shiftless
It seems I'm a long way from home
As sure as the sun rises in the east
As long as time runs true
While the moon turns the tide
Though I roam far and wide
I will always return to you
I'll always come back to you
I stood and watched the moon rise through the mist on Roudham Heath
With the first chill of autumn hanging in the air
And the beauty of the starlight on that silver-shadowed ghostland
Shining there before me was all that I could bear
An ideal conception
An exile's perception
Who never has felt so alone
A romantic dream
Half as real as it seems
When it seems you're a long way from home
As sure as the sun rises in the east
As long as time runs true
While the moon turns the tide
Though I roam far and wide
I will always return to you
I'll always come back to you
