Sundown Lyrics

Gordon Lightfoot Sundown

I can see her lyin'
back in her satin dress
in a room where ya do
what ya don't confess

Sundown ya better take care
if I find you been creepin'
'round my back stairs

(repeat)

She's been lookin' like a
queen in a sailor's dream
And she don't always say
what she really means

Sometimes I think it's a shame
when I get feelin' better
when I'm feelin' no pain

(repeat)

I can picture every move
that a man could make
Getting lost in her lovin'
is your first mistake

Sundown ya better take care
if I find you been creepin'
'round my back stairs
Sometimes I think it's a sin
when I feel like I'm winnin'
when I'm losin again

(instrumental)

I can see her lookin' fast
in her faded jeans
She's a hard lovin' woman
got me feelin' mean

Sometimes I think it's a shame
when I get feelin' better
when I'm feelin' no pain

Sundown ya better take care
if I find you been creepin'
'round my back stairs

(repeat)

Sometimes I think it's a sin
when I feel like I'm winnin'
when I'm losin' again
