“Losing
everything is like the sun going down on me.”
Songwriters: Bernie Taupin / Elton
John
Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me
Sunset
Colors
at the end of day
tongues
of distant signal fires,
light
the way to hearth and home
and
all the soul desires.
Not
the burning crimson flames
from
rows of funeral pyres
lit
by wailing weeping forms
who
grief alone attires.
All
the kings and queens and thrones
every
last one of the empires,
ends
in conflagration
Destroyed
in symbolic hellfires.
Still,
standing as the sun goes down
The
soul seeks what it admires,
And
takes what solace it can find
Before
her time expires.
