Lyrics The Conquering Sun - Gord Downie, The Sadies

The Conquering Sun

It’s getting on time to plant
Under the conquering sun
We were willing to a man
Under the conquering sun
But, for the sound of the whip-poor-will
And what is to occur
Night is a ways off still
Soon I will be with her
She is more than a conqueror
Working the fugitive dust
Under the conquering sun
Nature, please be good to us
Under the conquering sun
But, with the sound of the whip-poor-will
And what is to occur
Night, the quickening thrill
Soon I will be with her
She is more than a conqueror
Ooo, day is your word, night is the glue
Ooo, it is the work, day is your word, night is the glue
Sound of the whip-poor-will
Of what is to occur
Night, the quickening thrill
Soon I will be with her
She is more than a conqueror
Ooo, day is your word, night is the glue
Ooo, it is the work, day is your word, night is the glue
Ooo, night is the glue, night is the glue
Ooo, conquering sun, night is the glue
Ooo
Conquering sun, night is the glue
Conquering sun, night is the glue
Conquering sun, night is the glue
Night is the glue
