The Conquering Sun
Embracing Nature's Triumph: The Conquering Sun's Poetic Tale
Lyrics
It's getting on time to plant
Expressing the timing to plant or take action
Under the conquering sun
Reference to a powerful force or authority symbolized by the conquering sun
We were willing to a man
Everyone was willing to participate
Under the conquering sun
Continuation of the theme of being under a dominating influence
But, for the sound of the whip-poor-will
Introduction of the whip-poor-will as a symbolic element
And what is to occur
Anticipation of future events
Night is a ways off still
Evening is approaching, but not yet here
Soon I will be with her
Expressing a desire to be with a loved one soon
She is more than a conqueror
Describing the person as more than a conqueror, possibly emphasizing strength or resilience
Working the fugitive dust
Working in challenging conditions, possibly a metaphor for life's struggles
Under the conquering sun
Continuation of being under the conquering sun
Nature, please be good to us
Plea for nature to be kind or favorable
Under the conquering sun
Reiteration of being under the conquering sun
But, with the sound of the whip-poor-will
Reintroduction of the whip-poor-will, signaling a recurring theme
And what is to occur
Repeating anticipation of future events
Night, the quickening thrill
Night brings an exciting thrill or change
Soon I will be with her
Expressing the desire to be with the loved one as night approaches
She is more than a conqueror
Reiterating the strength or special qualities of the person
Ooh, day is your word, night is the glue
Symbolic connection between day and word, night and glue
Ooh, it is the work, day is your word, night is the glue
Repetition of the connection between day, work, night, and glue
Sound of the whip-poor-will
Reiteration of the whip-poor-will's sound
Of what is to occur
Repeating anticipation of future events
Night, the quickening thrill
Reiteration of the exciting thrill associated with night
Soon I will be with her
Expressing the impending reunion with the loved one
She is more than a conqueror
Emphasizing the person's exceptional qualities
Ooh, day is your word, night is the glue
Repeating the symbolic connection between day, word, night, and glue
Ooh, it is the work, day is your word, night is the glue
Reiteration of the relationship between work, day, night, and glue
Ooh, night is the glue, night is the glue
Further emphasis on night as a binding or connecting force
Ooh, conquering sun, night is the glue
Repetition of the conquering sun as a powerful force
Conquering sun, night is the glue
Continuation of emphasizing the conquering sun and its influence
Conquering sun, night is the glue
-Conquering sun, night is the glue
-Night is the glue
