My friend and me Looking through her red box of memories Faded I'm sure But love seems to stick in her veins you know Yes, there's love if you want it Don't sound like no sonnet My lord Yes, there's love if you want it Don't sound like no sonnet My lord My lord Why can't you see That nature has it's way of warning me Eyes open wide Looking at the heavens with a tear in my eye Yes, there's love if you want it Don't sound like no sonnet My lord Yes, there's love if you want it Don't sound like no sonnet My lord My lord Sinking faster than a boat without a hull My lord Dreaming about the day when I can see you there My side By my side Here we go again And my head is gone My lord I stop to say hello 'Cause I think you should know By now By now By now By now By now By now Oh! By now Oh! By now Oh! By now Oh! By now

A gravação de “Sonnet” utiliza o mesmo arranjo instrumental de “The Drugs Don’t Work”, com guitarras acústicas e elétricas acompanhadas principalmente por violinos.
Apesar de ter sido lançada como último single do álbum *Urban Hymns* em 2 de março de 1998, a música não conseguiu entrar na lista oficial dos Singles Charts do Reino Unido, mas uma edição importada alcançou a posição 74.
O single conseguiu entrar em paradas internacionais, obtendo destaque em países como Austrália, Islândia, Itália e Nova Zelândia.
Em 2021, o vocalista Richard Ashcroft regravou “Sonnet” para o álbum *Acoustic Hymns Vol 1*, trazendo uma versão mais íntima da balada.
A versão acústica de 2021 foi escolhida para ser destaque no anúncio de Natal da John Lewis & Partners em 2024, conferindo ao tema um novo espaço cultural no cenário publicitário.
