"At Day's End" - Alt country/rock - looking for feedback/critique

by Pete Westwood
(Canada)

v1
As you lay down in your sleepy town
with sunflowers outside your window
they gently toll as the night winds blow
waiting for the morning to come

v2
In the desert sand with gun in hand
a soldier keeps eye for his troops
they roll along, right or wrong
they just do what they have to do

ch
At days end when the sun goes down
At days end in your sleepy town
At days end when you close your eyes
Think of those who don't have a days end

v3
At an army base with vacant face
They wait with flowers in hand
A mother a father, a sister a brother
Never thought this day would come

v4
As they lay him down into the ground
In a field of white reminders
They roll along right or wrong
They just do what they have to do

Great sentiment, nice prose
by: Anonymous

Your point about the day's end - those who have one and those who don't is such a well-crafted and classic use of lyric.

I really like the rhythm of your verses and the meaning of your lyrics really shine through. This has great potential. Good job!

I heard this on the "Ex~Po" release "Central Meaner Street", very crafty lyrics! The audio version really drives it home. Great Job!
