Dusk
The Mist And The Morning Dew Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The sun daubs shimmering baths for the field,
Everything is waiting themselves to be healed,
Grateful leaves of green gather outside their lairs,
Fluids of gentle rain drops silently in pairs.

The paint is to be denied by the horizon,
Circular zones of time re-arrange on,
Precious daubing of the sun,
Switch on for another one.

Daubing of the crescent travel far across,
Light for the hollow despair of bitter loss,
The field is clothed by a thin cloak of grey,
The sun and horizon will start another day.

It's pale presence demands another harvest...

The paint is to be denied by the horizon,
Circular zones of time re-arrange on,
Precious daubing of the sun,
Switch on for another one.

Which gracefully shows it's brilliance,
Transparent grey glow in it's guidance,




Crescent of a dying peasant,
For eyes of the radiant.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Dusk" by The Mist and The Morning Dew capture the beauty and stillness of nature as day turns to night. The opening lines describe the sun painting "shimmering baths" for the field, as if everything is waiting to be healed. The leaves are "grateful" and collect outside their lairs while the gentle raindrops fall silently in pairs. The imagery of the sun daubing the field and the leaves collecting outside their lairs creates a feeling of peace and anticipation for what is to come.


As the sun disappears over the horizon, circular zones of time re-arrange themselves. The "daubing of the crescent" brings light to the "hollow despair of bitter loss," as if the moon provides solace to those who are struggling. The field is now clothed in a "thin cloak of grey" as night takes over, but the sun and horizon will start another day.


The final lines bring a sense of closure and inevitability to the cycle of life. The "pale presence" demands another harvest, as if nature is reminding us that everything has its time and place. The "transparent grey glow" of the dying sun provides guidance for the next day, while the "crescent of a dying peasant" is visible only to those with "eyes of the radiant." The lyrics of "Dusk" speak to the beauty and resilience of nature, and remind us to appreciate the simple things in life.
