[Verse 1]
Well, I walked out this evening
Stood out in front of my house
To see the daylight leaving
My eyes pointed south
I felt like I was dreaming

See me running up the hill when the evening comes
They get further away the faster that I run

Walked down to the ocean
And sat on the cold hard stones
Saw the seabirds fishing and the sunlight glistening
Down on my English home

The people I know and the places I've been
The city skylines and the fields of green
It's a wonder I made it home
[Chorus]
All my life I've been chasing setting suns
See me running up the hill when the evening comes
They get further away the faster that I run
I'm getting old and tired of chasing setting suns
[Chorus]
Well, all my life I've been chasing setting suns
See me running up the hill when the evening comes
They get further away the faster that I run
I'm getting old and tired of chasing setting suns
I'm getting old and tired of chasing setting suns
Oh I'm getting old and tired of chasing setting suns
