The summer sun is fading fast
And too, the heat she does deliver
Warmth, in her absence, will not last
The thought alone will make me shiver

I wonder where it is she goes,
What home it is she travels to?
A place of rest at night, she knows
Will give her strength for morning new.

I think about the home I keep
So sad that place won't do the same
For even when I go to sleep
My dreams at night are cause to blame

What lonely spot may I find rest
To plant my weary aching bones?
Relieve the cries of my footsteps
To sit upon a wayward stone?

But rest assured, as I was taught
There is no rest for fading sun.
She sails across the sky, distraught
In truth, her journey just begun.

And so you see, we are a pair.
Two travellers on endless roads.
The sun and I walk in despair
Nothing left but the unknown
