Sundowning
dawn was the day
come rain or shine
starting out on my pathway
it would always feel fine
when dawn was the day
sat here sundowning
taking time to look back
the clouds want to sing
raining dirt on my track
but I'm just sundowning
all must head west
chasing their rainbows
it is a soul's quest
to find what life knows
so all must head west
look I'm just sundowning
taking time to reminisce
now let the sun sing
an embrace finds a kiss
so I'm just sundowning
life was being with you
you were my home
my sunshine view
wherever we might roam
life was being with you
when I'm sundowning
just taking my time
harmonies will sing
and my spirit will climb
when I'm sundowning
sundowning it seems
maybe comes too soon
time is faster than dreams
as the sun moves a moon
sundowning my streams
you are my sundowning
my song to sing
my happy sundowning
my regret nothing
