Sunrise
Sunset
I know I posted this sunset photo just the other day, but I snapped the sunrise yesterday morning - just a few minutes before the sun appeared over the horizon - and they make a nice pair, don't you think. Not only that, they reminded me of the lyrics of Alan Toussaint's song On Your Way Down, one of my favourites from Little Feat. And that reminded me of Lowell George. I miss that man.
Sunrise
Sunset
Since the beginning it hasn't changed yet
People fly high begin to lose sight
You can't see very clearly when you're in flight
It's high time that you found
The same people you misuse on your way up
You might meet up
On your way down
Vintage wines from the year '62
It's your thing, it's your thing
It pleases you
You got to frown when you cross town
You think it's an honor just to have you around
It's high time that you found
The same dudes you misuse on your way up
You might meet up
On your way down
You think the sun rises and sets for you
But the same sun rises, sets and shines
On the poor folks too
I don't mind you turning round
I myself would even like a little higher ground
It's high time that you found
The same people you walk on on your way up
You might meet up
On your way down
On your way down
