The Consul at Sunset (Live at 37. Deutsches Jazzfestival Frankfurt 2006) - Jack Bruce/Hr Bigband

When he walks from the consul at sunset

Barely remembers his name

Walk is a little unsteady sadly

But he knows most of all that he's living beneath the volcano

Won't be so many more days

Isn't much time and it's gathering darkness my friend

He's been going too far in his drinking

Running a little too fat

Eyelids becoming so heavy sadly

But he tries not to sleep while he's living beneath the volcano

Won't be so many more days

Isn't much time and it's gathering darkness my friend

Though the fireflies laugh in the dusklight

It's the Festival of Death

Crowd is all laughter it's hollow sadly

They may kill death tonight but they still live beneath the volcano

Won't be so many more days

Won't be so many more days

Won't be so many more days

Isn't much time and it's gathering darkness my friend

And it's gathering darkness my friend
