Gordon Lightfoot
Sundown
Yo I could see her lying back in a satin dress
In a room where you do what you don't confess
She was a high pocket rumblin', movin' in the oven'in
Turntable in turnta B what's the deal

Sometimes I rhyme slow, sometimes I rhyme quick
When it's time to get busy out the hat comes a trick

So when the sun goes down you better take care
If I find you've been creepin' 'round my back stair

Sundown you better take care
If I find you've been creepin' 'round my back stair

She's a queen, lookin' mean, and a sailor's dream
She gotta come clean, say what she mean
She's gotta fess up, yo is her dress up?
Oh indeed, and tell em how it is B, bring 'em up to speed

Sometimes I rhyme slow, sometimes I rhyme quick
When it's time to get busy out the hat comes a trick

It's a shame when the game leaves you out the frame
It's the love for the sinister losing it again

Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feeling better when I'm feeling no pain
See I could picture every move a man could make
You took steps, you fell in love and that's your first mistake
You in a hole, gotta poll, but you shimmy up the wrong way

Hey yo the sun's going down and I feel like its my last day

Sundown you better take care
If I find youve been creepin' 'round my back stair
Sometimes I think its a sin
When I feel like I'm winning when I'm losing again

Yo sometimes the silence is just so valuable sometimes

She lay her head down, pink frown, sad cause she's lost out
A big city hat who goes for minds one trip
Day by day with sunshine soak in a room back sunlight

Yo I could see her lying back in a satin dress
In a room where you do what you don't confess
Sundown (x3)

I could picture every move a man could make
Getting lost in a lot there's your first mistake
Sundown (x3)

She was looking fast in the faded jeans
Now she's a hard lovin woman gotta know what I mean
She stepped up in the spot
She made the spot hot
Give it away, give it away yeaaaaa
Sometimes I think its a shame
When I get feeling better when I'm feeling no pain
And sundown you better take care
If I find you've been creepin' 'round my back stair
Sundown you better take care
If I find you've been creepin' 'round find you've been creepin' round my back stair
And sometimes I think it's a sin
When I think like I'm winning when I'm losing again
I'm losing again (x8)
