Simon and Garfunkel "The Sun Is Burning" paroles

The Sun Is Burning

The sun is burning in the skyStrands of clouds go slowly drifting byIn the park the lazy beesAre joining in the flowers, among the treesAnd the sun burns in the sky

Now the sun is in the westLittle kids go home to take their restAnd the couples in the parkAre holdin' hands and waitin' for the darkAnd the sun is in the west

Now the sun is sinking lowChildren playin' know it's time to goHigh above a spot appearsA little blossom blooms and then draws nearAnd the sun is sinking low

Now the sun has come to EarthShrouded in a mushroom cloud of deathDeath comes in a blinding flashOf hellish heat and leaves a smear of ashAnd the sun has come to Earth

Now the sun has disappearedAll is darkness, anger, pain and fearTwisted, sightless wrecks of menGo groping on their knees and cry in painAnd the sun has disappeared
