Roxy Music Sunset Lyrics

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
