Sundown

Gordon Lightfoot


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 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

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 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
