Lonesome 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.
She's a lonely girl
Lost in the world
Got love in her eyes for me
She's a sweet young thing
Brings me dreams
In a box she made for me
Lonesome sundown, this is gonna be hard
It's a lonesome sundown, this is gonna be hard
I know so don't let go, this is gonna be hard
I'll never let you down
This love I've found
It means too much to me
And I stand accused
Outside the law
But you are all I need
Lonesome sundown, this is gonna be hard
Yeah a lonesome sundown, this is gonna be hard
I know
So don't let go this is gonna be hard
Redemption comes
To those who wait
Forgiveness is the key
And I wish you love
And I wish you hope
Please believe in me
And it's a lonesome sundown, this is gonna be hard
Yeah a lonesome sundown, this is gonna be hard
I know
So don't let go this is gonna be hard
