Gordon Lightfoot - Sundown Lyrics
I can see her lying 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 creeping 'round my back stairs
If I find you been creeping 'round my back stairs
She's been looking 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 feeling better when I'm feeling no pain
Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feeling better when I'm feeling no pain
Getting lost in her loving is your first mistake
Sundown, you better take care
If I find you been creeping 'round my back stairs
Sometimes I think it's a sin
When I feel like I'm winning when I'm losing again
I can see her looking fast in her faded jeans
She's a hard loving woman, got me feeling mean
Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feeling better when I'm feeling no pain
Sundown, you better take care
If I find you been creeping 'round my back stairs
Sundown, you better take care
If I find you been creeping 'round my back stairs
Sometimes I think it's a sin
When I feel like I'm winning when I'm losing again

Gordon Lightfoot Sundown Comments
Make a woman, that hurt look bad in front of whole world and create iconic song, that remain popular 40 years, that's what I say kill two birds with one rock.
James Spader took me here.....
What a great song.
What a beautiful woman.
Oh yea..made the mistake of fallin in love with a woman like that when I was young, dumb, and full of,...well you know...It was fun but ...Ouch
Wonderful memories to listen to.
Knives out brought me here
Gordon u sucker for love ass trick
who is this girl in video?
one of those songs that just washes over you.
Gordon Lightfoot is one of the few artists whose stature seems to increase as time goes on, at least in my book.
CSI New York they use a Crappy Cover of a Great Song .
UGH ......
sacrilege !
Hahaha gordon lightfoot is hilarious
This was real music loved his story he told
Mr. Blevins, you do amazing video work, and pick amazing songs.
W K, thank you.
The FK are you on about bud?
Godspeed Gordon, safe travels.
If you were alive in 1974, you would remember this song. It's great!
A very mature song full of feling & emotion. Love it.
Still the best!
they just don't make music like this anymore this song never gets old Gordon Lightfoot one of the all time greats
Nicely done.
The 70s would have been the best decade
Just get ride of the Vietnam War, Watergate, oil crisis, Iranian hostages, double-digit inflation, loss of American manufacturing jobs, and polyester leisure suits...and it would have been great.
Oh great song
Maybe my favorite song ever...
She has a VERY nice tattoo.
What's her name???
Best song.
Cause i feel no pain hyped off on coffee n cigarettes n tylenol!!!
Sun is never going down. Neither is the moon and STARS!!!
Gladly flash back to be her JumpMaster!!!
This song came out in 1975 even the video has a 70s feel to it
This song never gets old....., man I'm soon 57......been listening to this since I was a kid.....brilliant song. Legendary singer.
They play this song in the background in Knives Out. Makes perfect sense after you watch the movie.
In the era of singer/songwriters - James Taylor, Cat Stevens, Carly Simon, many more - this guy tends to get overlooked.
A masterpiece. Notice how the verses are repeated, but never follow a specific pattern.
This song flashes all my good memories in front of my eyes,i have heard it in blacklist and when i listen to it i feel like Raymond reddington
Blacklist s1😱😱🤗👍
I love music today, but nothing comes close to beating this!!
Great song and love her Airborne tattoo!
Who makes a song like this?
Gordon Lightfoot kids
SUPERNATURAL. <3
FANFICTION.
Just heard this in the movie Knives Out. Always remember this song from one of the records my mom played way back.
2020 and still rocking out like it came out yesterday
Sometimes you find a song that makes whisky taste better :)
Back again.....Pure Classic....none better
Nice tattoo, my Airborne sister. At least I hope she didn't put those on unless she earned them....
Hes singing about my gfs. timeless classic
Wicked!!
Beautiful melody can anyone suggest me more songs just like this one
His song beautiful
Who could thumbs down this?
The Blacklist
MOONDOG!!!!!!
Keep cheating and he is gonna kill ya!
I can relate to this song,,,,,,,,my ex-wife..
Did she have a lot of dudes creeping around your back stair?
Love my dad died. 11/2/1999. Andrew J Hvizdos:)) RIP
Have a daddy that is a paratrooper.... Then try to marry one... They are not always your Daddy! Love you Daddy! You are a true soldier with Valor! You are a True man! They broke the mold! Love your Pumpkin .....
My God, this one hurts!
This song makes a lot more sense In context when its playing in the background behind Ransom and Marta
Marta and Ransom brought me here.
You did it!👍
Raymond Reddington brought me here
This is when the music made you use your imagination to visualize the story the song is telling. It's from before the days of MTV and music videos took away the ability to imagine all the things the song is telling. They gave us the story they wanted the masses to see, rather than each person having his or her interpretation of the song.
The mind is a terrible thing to waste !!!
A song about a whore. I would just like to take out time to honor whores ,or what some call prostitutes, here for all to see. In ancient times ,world round, there have been traditions that venerate goddesses that were sacred whores and in some of those traditions a woman would actually take the position of assuming the role for men and women. So I have much gratitude and respect for ladies who totally go outside the norm provided they do what they do safely. Thank you for all of your sexual healing and giving men an outlet of relief. How many of you are just absolutely deaf or blind to what the song is really about???🤣 “I can see her lyin' back in her satin dress
In a room where ya do what ya don't confess”.”I can picture every move that a man could make
Getting lost in her lovin' is your first mistake”. These two lines in the lyrics tell the listener what this song is all about.🤪 This video shows a beautiful woman all through it ,but the song isn’t really saying anything good about her. The song is about a dishonest whore. Gordon’s relationship to Cathy Smith was one where she frequented bars and stayed out late without him. She was “bone-hoping” and later the evidence came out about her infidelity from what some online sources say. So she qualified as a whore. Obviously Lightfoot wrote this about the stormy relationship with his one time girlfriend Cathy Smith, who was later sentenced for delivering a lethal dose of heroin to John Belushi. The song is about an unfaithful/promiscuous woman. “I still love you Jenny”-Forest Gump🤣
Just heard this song yesterday. It's been bugging me so I had to listen to it again
Always a good somg
Knives out anyone?? Perfect song for the movie, LOVE GORDON!
sometimes...
HARD!!!!
I'm in love with the woman in this video...but not nearly as much as this song...
Great song
Knives out anyone?
Beautiful 1974 hit. ♥️
"Knives out" brought me here
Ngl same
I knew gorden Lightfoot before knives out, but I'm glad they used this song.
Só lembro de blacklist ❤️
This sing will appear in "For All Mankind", I predict
7 years sober and yes I think it’s a shame when I think I’m winning when I’m losing again..... 11.27.2019
Glad you’re here. It’s a tough road, but good luck to you.
589 dislikes.! Really?......are there that many people with no class?
Got caught creeping around his back stair. How the hell are they supposed to feel?
Jump run tatoo…. Looped static line in your hand and wings up. Moving from the dark to the light and the punch of the blast out the door. Damn I miss it.
Great song . Cheers
Im just cleaning my house
lol how many is here due to blacklist
I've loved this song ever since I was 6 in 74. I was randomly singing it, I have no idea why, something I watched on tv or youtube reminded me of it so I had to go play it. I have several times since remembering it and here I am again playing it. it has not aged at all.
Bought an entire Gordon Lightfoot vinyl just for this song, thanks to its appearance in The Blacklist
Did anyone else see the woman's wrist ink ? Jump Wings !!!
ALL AMERICAN RIGHT HERE! Hell yeah, I saw them.
found this while watching the blacklist........awesome
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathy_Smith
Lightfoot writes like he's lived a couple hundred years.
OMG....all world's marital issues & she's mad u took a break listening to music in the shed???
back in the time when music was music
That bassline is the funkiest shit I've ever heard
I was once asked what my favorite all-time song was and answered with this. She said, it's about killing a prostitute (before Blacklist was a thought). I said, so?
Só vim por causa de Black List Reymond Redington
Great song. In case you’re wondering what it’s about. He’s describing how Epstein did not kill himself
My song, my song💋❤️🥰1975-2019 that’s how long I’ve liked this song🤘💋🦂🔥
I knew this woman; "hard loving woman" ! God "I" miss HER everyday !
Tell me more about her please
Happy Birthday Gord.
Good Song. Unlike the shit these days.
