“Don't let the sun go down on me.
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see.
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free.
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me.”

—  Elton John

Darkness be over me,
My rest a stone;
Yet in my dreams I'd be
Nearer, my God, to Thee.”

I close the wicker gate in the setting sun.
The grass will be green again in coming spring,
But will the wanderer ever return?”

For smoking all my stash / For burning all my cash.. It's all over town that the sun's / Going down on the days / Of your easy life”

“Be angry, but sin not. Let not the sun go down upon your anger. Anger must be limited and confined, both in race and in time.”

Francis Bacon book Essays

Of Anger
Essays (1625)
Context: To seek to extinguish anger utterly, is but a bravery of the Stoics. We have better oracles: Be angry, but sin not. Let not the sun go down upon your anger. Anger must be limited and confined, both in race and in time.

“It seems to me that maybe,
It pretty much always means no
So don't tell me you might just let it go
And often times we're lazy
It seems to stand in my way
Cause no one no not no one
Likes to be let down”

“There's alot of things I want, a lot of things that I'd like to be.
But girl, I don't foresee a rags-to-riches story for me.
There's just one little dream I've got to come true;
There's just one round I've gotta win,
I can't be a loser with you.
Baby, baby, once in my life, let me get what I want,
Girl, don't let me down!
Just once in my life, let me hold on to one good thing I found!”

Carole King (1942) Nasa
