England Lyrics

Cover art for England lyrics by Ed Sheeran

Ed Sheeran takes his listeners on a journey through his favourite part of England on his new album. He paints a vivid picture of a coastal town in England where everything is serene and lovely. It’s a welcome break away from the noisy and boisterous atmosphere of the city, and Ed Sheeran is surely relishing being in this part of “England.”

“The stones have been cleared around the fishermen’s hut / And the air bites, then leaves, almost invisible cuts on the skin / A lighthouse retired, but a new one was hired,” Ed Sheeran sings to start his story in the first verse. In the second verse, he tells us about the town’s pub and powerhouse and warns that it’s best to stay away from the wild so as not to go missing. “I find serenity I’ve never felt / There’s a peace and a quiet in this island of ours / That can’t be mirrored by anywhere else,” he sings tellingly in the bridge and closes out with the chorus.
