England (Live from Maynard’s Living Room) Ed Sheeran

[Verse 1]
It is opening day and a brand new start
The stones have been cleared around the fisherman's hut
And the air bites, then leaves almost invisible cuts on the skin
A lighthouse retired, but a new one was hired
About twenty foot taller, painted in black and white
Twenty million steps with a computer inside instead of him

[Chorus]
Only one road sign telling cars to slow down
And a long drop in the ocean
Beware of the riptide, broken glass and train lines
It's a new day, and this is England

[Verse 2]
Next to the pub with the flag that's workin' flexible hours
There's a mismatch of carriages, soil in a boat for some flowers
Fairy lights on a building that's supplyin' us power from the sea
Electricity lines flow like veins through the town
In between, there is nothing but grass and pebbles on the ground
Do not enter the wild here if you want to be found for the free

[Chorus]
View the flame of sunrise cut in half by the sky
And the empty of the desert
Team of birds that swerve by and then land on the wires
It's a new day, and this is England
