June's Sundown
Embracing Life's Twilight: June's Sundown Tale
Lyrics
Another day is dropping westward, slipping away
Reflecting on the passing of another day towards the west.
Sounds of machines, motors and men quieten out, less the dim
The noise of machinery and human activity fades, leaving a subdued atmosphere.
Sundown, tally the pay
At sundown, taking stock of the day's earnings or accomplishments.
The labouring man welcomes the grey
The working person welcomes the evening and its rest.
Many of wife with a kiss at the door
A wife bidding farewell to her husband with a kiss as he leaves for work.
New lipstick, not worn before
Noticing a change in appearance, perhaps a new start or outlook.
Sundown, turn over your wheel
As the sun sets, the cycle of life continues.
A plowboy whistling back from the field
A farmer returns home happily, whistling after a day's work in the fields.
Many-a mother counts one day less
Moms count the days until their loved ones return.
Till someone returns
A sense of anticipation for someone's return.
A voice to repeat with a silent heart said
Someone expressing a prayer for others, asking for their daily sustenance.
I prayed for them receive daily bread
A silent prayer for the well-being of others.
Millions of hearts beat as one sound
The unity of millions of hearts, beating as one in perfect love.
In loves perfection, together at sundown
Experiencing love's perfection when together at sundown.
Mothers, shepherds, count the table around
Mothers and shepherds gather around the table, grateful for what they have.
Thankful the lands are still in at sundown
Expressing gratitude that the lands are still present and fruitful at sundown.
Sundown, desert sand
Referencing desert sand cooling as the sun sets.
Begin to cool the hot face of tanned
The cooling effect of sundown on a sun-tanned face.
Gave me this day, allowed me to live
Grateful for being alive and acknowledging the gift of the day.
At every sundown thanks I give
Expressing thanks at every sundown for the day received.
So listen and you will feel love universal
Encouraging listeners to feel the universal love through attentive listening.
Personal reel
A personal experience of love portrayed like a film reel.
Just drift with the tide
Advising to go with the flow of life, like drifting with the tide.
Released and unwound
Feeling liberated and relaxed, letting go of tension.
Love at sundown
Experiencing love and contentment specifically at sundown.
