| Elton John – Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me Lyrics

Today, as I was driving home from work, I heard this song on the radio. It immediately reminded me of my brother who died unexpectedly, tragically, and way before his time. I almost felt that he was speaking to me through this song. He can't see my darkness anymore. And, though it has been almost 3 years since his death---his pictures do almost seem black and white. When he died, it was almost as if he was "frozen on the ladder" of his life. He still had a great deal of living left to do. And there are times like today--when I feel that I wasn't there for him---that I let the sun go down on him--as he lay dying in his apartment all alone with no one there, except a few friends, who just let him die. Elton John may well have been talking about a lost lover, but for me this song---speaks of losing a little brother to death long before his time---and my powerlessness in stopping the sun from going down on him...... |
