Letra de
Sundown

Sundown fue inspirada por las preocupaciones de Gordon Lightfoot sobre su novia en aquel momento, que supuestamente pasaba tiempo con otros músicos famosos en bares. El título es una metáfora para una sensación de inquietud.

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

(fade out)
