Name: Sunset
Duration: P00H01M14S
Description: The simple act of looking out the window at dusk and watching the city fade into darkness, and as a metaphor, well trodden as it may be, for death. And just as the sun is certain to rise and fall, so must we accept that our time here will end. And the only thing we can hope for when all is said and done is a bit of peace and quiet.

The simple act of looking out the window at dusk and watching the city fade into darkness, and as a metaphor, well trodden as it may be, for death.

lyrics

Sunset’s dark assurance
As it falls over the city
The tragedy of daylight leaving
A death that occurs each evening

And a reminder that
When the real thing comes along
To cast its velvet curtain
And settle in our bosom
Just as certain

And if we’re lucky
Just as quietly
