Sundown Lyrics By Gordon Lightfoot

    i can see her lyin’ back
    in her satin dress
    in a room where you do
    what you don’t confess

    sundown you’d better take care
    if i find you been creepin’ ’round
    my back stairs
    sundown you’d better take care
    if i find you been creepin’ ’round
    my back stairs

    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
    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 you’d 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

    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 you’d better take care
    if i find you been creepin’ ’round
    my back stairs
    sundown you’d 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
