Kris Kristofferson - Come Sundown lyrics

rate me

I heard the front door closing softly,

As I wakened from my sleep;

With the last touch of her kips, Lord,

Like a whisper on my cheek;

And I cursed the sun for risin',

'Cause the worst, Lord, was yet to come;

'Cause this morning, she's just leavin',

But, come sundown, she'll be gone.

See the lipstick on the pillow

That I placed beneath her head;

And the soft sheets still feel warm, Lord,

Where she lay upon my bed;

And it hurts to know it's over,

For the hurt, Lord, has just begun.

'Cause this morning, she's just leavin',

But, come sundown, she'll be gone.
