Sundown

(Gordon Lightfoot )



I can see her lyin' back in her faded dress

In a room where ya do what ya don't confess

Sundown ya better take care

If I find you bin creepin' 'round my back stairs.

Sundown ya better take care

If I find you bin creepin' 'round my back stairs.



She's bin 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

Sometimes I think it's a shame.

When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain.



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 bin creepin' 'round my back stairs

Sometimes I think it's a sin

When I feel like I'm winnin' when I'm losin again.



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 bin creepin' 'round my back stairs

Sundown ya better take care.



If I find you bin creepin' 'round my back stairs

Sometimes I think it's a sin

When I feel like I'm winnin' when I'm losin' again...
