the lights - robbie robertson
i would not have imagined a song as sleek and meloncholy from this wiki bio:
Jaime Royal "Robbie" Robertson (July 5, 1943 – August 9, 2023) was a Canadian musician of Indigenous ancestry. He was lead guitarist for Bob Dylan in the mid-late 1960s and early-mid 1970s, guitarist and songwriter with The Band from their inception until 1978, and a solo artist.
There was something strange
In the sky tonight
I was left standing
With three moons shining
Just on the outskirts of civilization
I hear no longer
The song of the women
I hear no longer
The cry of the bird
I see no more
The white smoke rising
Only the low hum from the lights is still heard
