Lady Sundown
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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.......
