Hutchinson, Eric - Sun Goes Down Lyrics






I got a postcard in the mail today
And on the back she wrote the words that she could not say
On the front a desert sky orange red and brown
She wrote will you think of me when the sun goes down

She wrote it wasn't anything I did
To make her leave me all alone to raise both our kids
Said she cannot spend the night in that desert town
Cause she always thinks of me when the sun goes down

So hard to know how long its gonna take
To hear the heart that was never supposed to break
She said to tell her mother hi for her
And that she thinks of coming home but she's still not sure
Plays piano when she can
But she hates the sound
And she always thinks of me when sun goes down

So hard to know how long it's gonna take
To hear the heart that was never supposed to break
What a mistake

I put that postcard in the fire tonight
Like all the others that she sends cuz they are all alike
I closed the window and I pulled the shades all down
I'm not gonna think of her when the sun goes down

when the sun goes down
when the sun goes down
when the sun goes down
when the sun goes down
when the sun goes down

  1. S.... P....

    I'm here in tears. I'd say I don't know why but I know if I think (and not deeply) that I'd find the reason why

  2. K.... H....

    Anyone know where to get the chords for this??

    K.... H....

    Kaylin Harr, Try Ultimate Guitar, ChordU, or Chordify

  3. w.... ....

    My favorite song from Eric... I would love to know the inspiration for this brilliant piece of music

  4. j.... j....

    bet the girl in the song disliked this video

  5. S.... H....

    I love so many of Eric Hutchinson's songs but for me this is, by far, his best. Beautiful melody and awesome lyrics.

  6. A.... N....

    Brilliance.

  7. C.... 1....

    ouch. so close to home.

  8. T.... S....

    Possibly my favorite example of songwriting at its finest. Eric has an incredible ability to apply such deep emotion and feeling that songs like this portray exquisite, stories that go deeper and are far more intricate than his sometimes fantastically simple and catchy lyrics and compositions. I feel he is one of the best story tellers of our time

  9. R.... T....

    Can anyone help with guitar chords on this song?

    R.... T....

    +Rippz Tricks G C D G and there's Bm in chorus i think

  10. A.... M....

    Sigh...

  11. K.... B....

    My new favorite. <3
