SUNDOWN by GORDON LIGHTFOOT
* lyrics below *




I can see her lyin' back in her satin dress
In a room where you do what you don't confess
Sundown you better take care
If I find you been creepin' round my back stairs
Sundown you better take care
If I find you been creepin' round my back stairs

She's been lookin' like a queen in a sailors 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 better take care
If I find you been creepin' round my back stairs
Sometimes I think it's a sin
When I fell like I'm winnin' when I'm losing 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 better take care
If I find you been creepin' round my back stairs

Sundown you better take care
If I find you been creepin' round my back stairs
Sometimes I think it's a sin
When I fell like I'm winnin' when I'm losing again

Sundown you better take care
If I find you been creepin' round my back stairs
Sometimes I think it's a sin
When I fell like I'm winnin' when I'm losing again





Yessir...

That's some pretty damn fine songwriting.


I'm gonna have to go 8.5 on this one.

I'll go 8. I would have gone higher, but my Tribe had a battle with Lightfoot's tribe and they stole my Sensitivity Idol.

lyrics usually dont mean any thing to me. i mean have you ever read the lyrics to a nirvana song? or stone temple pilots? they make no sense. so i cant really appreciate a well written song unless it has a rockin beat.
probably why im not a huge dylan fan. and why i like classical music so much. no words.

I always liked this song, I'll go 8 . It's been a while since I've heard it.

Chris - It goes both ways...

Lyrics can often mean more than the music, or vice-versa.

And Dylan makes me fucking ill.


And I worked a Jane's Addiction show, so yes... I know the lyrics.

Yup... He did some good stuff.

His average is 6.75 so far...

It would be higher but Chris farted a zero at it.

Oh and it really reminds me of my teenage years, driving through Topanga Canyon on the way to the beach and there were people selling stuff all throughout the canyon on the side of the road. I bought several tie-dyed shirts and tank tops:)

No apologies needed, Bobisa...

It sure is cool to have certain memories attached to certain songs.

Well... usually, anyway...

Your rating raises Gordon's average to 7.25 !
