June’s Sundown

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Another day is dropping westward, slipping away Sounds of machines, motors and men quieten out, less the dim Sundown, tally the pay The labouring man welcomes the grey Many of wife with a kiss at the door New lipstick, not worn before [Verse 2] Sundown, turn over your wheel A plowboy whistling back from the field Many-a mother counts one day less Till someone returns [Verse 3] A voice to repeat with a silent heart said I prayed for them receive daily bread Millions of hearts beat as one sound In loves perfection, together at sundown [Verse 4] Mothers, shepherds, count the table around Thankful the lands are still in at sundown Sundown, desert sand Begin to cool the hot face of tanned Gave me his day, allowed me to live At every sundown thanks I give [Verse 5] So listen and you will feel love universal Personal reel Just drift with the tide Released and unwound Love at sundown
