Lyrics

The sun is fading away

The sun is setting.

That's the end of the day

It signifies the end of the day.

As the June light turns to moonlight

The transition from daylight to moonlight in June.

I'll be on my way

The speaker expresses the intention to depart.


Just one kiss & I'll go

A request for a farewell kiss before leaving.

Don't hide the tears that don't show

Encouragement not to conceal unshed tears.

As the June light turns to moonlight

Reiteration of the transition to moonlight in June.

I'll be on my way

Confirmation of the imminent departure.


To where the winds don't blow

Heading towards a place unaffected by strong winds.

And golden rivers flow

Describing a serene place with flowing golden rivers.

This way I will go

Expressing the chosen path of the speaker.


They were right, I was wrong

Admitting a mistake in a past relationship.

True love didn't last long

Acknowledging that true love didn't endure.

As the June light turns to moonlight

Reiteration of the transition to moonlight in June.

I'll be on my way

Reaffirmation of the impending departure.


To where the winds don't blow

Repeating the desire for a destination without strong winds.

And golden rivers flow

Reiterating the imagery of serene rivers.

This way I will go

Restating the chosen path of the speaker.


They were right, I was wrong

Repeating the acknowledgment of a past mistake.

True love didn't last long

Reiterating that true love was not enduring.

As the June light turns to moonlight

Reiteration of the transition to moonlight in June.

I'll be on my way.

Final confirmation of the imminent departure.
