Lyrics - Sundown by 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 been creepin’ ’round my back stairs
Sundown ya 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 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
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
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
