Sunset

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

Aaw, 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 sun swept 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 colors the sky

Red-letter light fades is filed away

Sunburst fingers you raise

One last sigh of farewell, goodbye
