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
