Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show - Lady Sundown lyrics

rate me

(Clark/Bettis)

Lately sundown means a little more to me

Heartbeats rise as the sun slips through the trees

As the twilight burns the sky

I can't wait for the light to die

'Cause I know how good tonight is gonna be

Lady Sundown, you haunt me through the day

When we lay down you burn my nights away

I never meant to give so much

But your touch turned me around

And when the night falls, I fall too, Lady Sundown, Lady Sundown

Starlight shadows moving in a quiet room

You open to me like a desert flower to the moon

Then the darkness starts to flow

To a rhythm only lovers know

Lyin' in love 'til the mornin' comes too soon

Lady Sundown, you haunt me through the day

When we lay down you burn my nights away

I never meant to give so much

But your touch turned me around

And when the night falls, I fall too, Lady Sundown, ooh ohh

Lady Sundown, you haunt me through the day

When we lay down you burn my nights away

I never meant to give so much

But your touch turned me around

And when the night falls, I fall too, Lady Sundown

Lady Sundown, you haunt me through the day

When we lay down you burn my nights away

Lady Sundown, you haunt me through the day

When we lay down you burn my nights away

Lady Sundown, you haunt me through the day

When we lay down you burn.......
