Lyrics for The Last of England

Nothing more to do but leave Following the corners of the room Knitted heart, they gave to me I wash my hands and stare into the drain Sitting in the dusk of the room, you fell asleep, anyway Time has made it seem we can talk But then they took you away Elizabeth, it travels through Ilford is the place that I hold dear All the things we had to do My sister understands just how it feels Sitting in the dusk of the room, you fell asleep, anyway (anyway) Time has made it seem we can talk But then they took you away Away Away Away Away, away, away, away Sitting in the dusk of the room, you fell asleep, anyway Time has made it seem we can talk But then they took you away
