Sunset Lyrics
Ah! 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 -- good-bye
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
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 -- good-bye

I read someplace, can't remember where, that this song represents Bryan Ferry's acknowledgment that the glam rock era was ending.
