[Refrain]
Oh (Oh)
Sunset?
(Stay in the light)
Not yet.
(Oh, no)
Know not yet
(Avoid the night)
[Verse]
I’m not quite sure, yet
But it feels like it’s sunset
Going down
[Bridge]
On the shape, how round?
(profound)
Going down
(Down, down, down)
[Chorus]
And don’t forget
The sunset..
But, let’s get back ’round
To the part “how round?”
[Bridge]
Can I move
Mo point-of-groove
And still see the light
[Break]
And, still be in the light
Delight
On the verge
Of the curve
But, not yet
Sunset
[Instrumental, Saxophone Solo, Bass]
[Refrain]
Oh (Oh)
Sunset?
(Stay in the light)
Not yet.
(Oh, no)
Know not yet
(Avoid the night)
A SCIENCE NOTE
Yes, you can extend your view of a sunset by changing your position or vantage point. Here are a few ways to do that:
- Move to a Higher Elevation: If you’re on a hill, mountain, or tall building, you can see the sun for a longer period as it sets because your horizon is farther away.
- Travel West: By moving westward, you can prolong your view of the sunset. This works because you’re effectively “chasing” the sun as it sets.
- Use an Airplane: If you’re in an airplane flying west, you can significantly extend the duration of the sunset. Pilots sometimes adjust their altitude and direction to allow passengers to enjoy extended views of sunsets and sunrises.
- Go to a Coastline: Watching the sunset from a coastline, particularly on the western edge of a landmass, can give you an unobstructed view of the sun setting over the ocean, prolonging the experience.
