Lady Sundown Lyrics - Dr. Hook

(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.......
