Lyrics of 'England' by Ed Sheeran

It is openin' day and a brand new start
The stores are bein' cleared around the fishermen's huts
And the air bites the leaves, almost invisible cuts on the skin
A lighthouse retired, but a new one was hired
About twenty foot tall and painted in black and white
Twenty million steps with a computer inside instead of him

Only one boat sign, didn't cost to slow down
And a long drop in the ocean
Beware of the riptide, broken glass and train rides
It's a new day and this is England

Next to the park with the flag that's workin' flexible hours
'Cause there's a mismatch of carriages sorted in a boat of sunflowers
Fairy lights on a buildin' that's supplyin' us power from the sea
Electricity lines flow like veins to the town
In between there's nothin' but grass and pebbles on the ground
Do not answer the wild here if you want to be found for the free

View the famous sunrise cutting half by the sky
And the empty of the desert
Team of birds that swerve by and the land on the horizon
It's a new day and this is England

When it's time to escape from the heavier things
There is nothin' like washin' away
I find this country of mine get some bad reputation
Of being cold and grey
But on the coast of this south to the east follow ground
I find serenity I've never found
There's a peace, enough quiet in the silent bars
That can't be mirrored by anywhere else

Homes protrudin' from stones with their wood-coloured black
It's got a car in the line, steam risin' out the shaft
One door at the front and then just glass at the back for the view

And the blue is so bright
You'll need shades for your eyes
And the cable to pull over
Take a walk and feel light, everything will be fine
It's a new day and this is England
