Sundown Lyrics by Jesse Winchester

Beautiful: A Tribute to Gordon Lightfoot

0

[Verse 1]
I can see her lyin' back in her satin dress
In a room where you do what you don't confess

[Chorus]
Oh, Sundown, you better take care
If I find you been creeping 'round my back stair
Oh, Sundown, you better take care
If I find you been creeping 'round my back stair

[Verse 2]
She's been looking like a queen in a sailor's dream
And she don't always say what she really means

[Chorus]
Oh, sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain
Oh, sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain

[Verse 3]
I can picture every move that a man might make
Gеtting lost in her love is your first mistake

[Chorus]
Oh, Sundown, you bеtter take care
If I find you been creeping 'round my back stair
Oh, sometimes I think it's a sin
When I feel like I'm winnin' when I'm losin' again

[Verse 4]
I can see her looking fast in her faded jeans
That's a hard lovin' woman, makes me feel so mean

[Chorus]
Oh, sometimes I think it's a shame (Hey, it seems like a shame)
When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain (That's the only time)
Sundown, you better take care (Hey, yeah)
If I find you been creeping 'round my back stair (Oh, don't let me catch you)
Sundown, you better take care (Yes, I know)
If I find you been creeping 'round my back stair
Sometimes I think it's a sin
When I feel like I'm winnin' when I'm losin' again
