Sunset

Roxy Music

Oh look at the sun - it's all a-glow

Slow burning star - sinking low

Heaven knows where you go

Out of sight, out of minds eye, no

Aw such a shame - you must leave

All day long you were a friend to me

Still - the moon's company

Until morning when larks will sing

Horizon's appointment you'll keep

For sunswept flamingos must sleep

Scenes like these from my dreams

Cover cutting-room floors all over...

Warm heart we spin slowly from view

Why are you sad - do you disapprove?

How we've wasted our time

Sunset - end of my day - my decline

Postscript you trace colours the sky

Red-letter light fades, is filed away

Sunburst fingers you raise

One last sigh of farewell - goodbye
