Sundown Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can see her lyin' back in her satin dress
In a room where you do what you don't confess
[Chorus]
Sundown, you'd better take care
If I find you been creepin' 'round my back stairs
Sundown, you'd better take care
If I find you been creepin' 'round my back stairs
[Verse 2]
She's been lookin' like a queen in a sailor's dream
And she don't always say what she really means
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
I can picture every move that a man could make
Getting lost in her lovin' is your first mistake
[Chorus]
Sundown, you'd 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
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 4]
I can see her lookin' fast in her faded jeans
She's a hard lovin' woman, got me feelin' mean
[Chorus]
Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain
Sundown, you'd better take care
If I find you been creepin' 'round my back stairs
Sundown, you'd 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

What did Gordon Lightfoot say about "Sundown"?
I was on a roll at that time. I was writing on a farm and was with the lady I lived with at the time named Cathy Smith. The two of us were together at that time. Much later she was involved in this Belushi business long after we had broken up. I need to point that out. But she was out with the girls...
