Come Sundown lyrics

Song information

Artist: Kris Kristofferson
Album: Shake Hands With The Devil

Lyrics

I heard the front door closing softly
As I wakened from my sleep;
With the last touch of her lips, 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
