Gordon Meredith Lightfoot Jr. CC OOnt (born November 17, 1938) is a Canadian singer-songwriter and guitarist who achieved international success in folk, folk-rock, and country music. He is credited with helping to define the folk-pop sound of the 1960s and 1970s. He is often referred to as Canada’s greatest songwriter and is known internationally as a folk-rock legend. Lightfoot’s biographer Nicholas Jennings said “His name is synonymous with timeless songs about trains and shipwrecks, rivers and highways, lovers and loneliness. He is unquestionably Canada’s greatest songwriter.“ Lyrics: I can see her lying back in her satin dress In a room where you do what you don’t confess Sundown, you better take care If I find you been creeping ’round my back stairs Sundown, you better take care If I find you been creeping ’round my back stairs She’s been looking like a queen in a sailor’s dream And she don’t always say what she really means Sometimes I think it’s a shame When I get feeling better when I’m feeling no pain Sometimes I think it’s a shame When I get feeling better when I’m feeling no pain I can picture every move that a man could make Getting lost in her loving is your first mistake Sundown, you better take care If I find you been creeping ’round my back stairs Sometimes I think it’s a sin When I feel like I’m winning when I’m losing again I can see her looking fast in her faded jeans She’s a hard loving woman Got me feeling mean Sometimes I think it’s a shame When I get feeling better when I’m feeling no pain Sundown, you better take care If I find you been creeping ’round my back stairs Sundown, you better take care If I find you been creeping ’round my back stairs Sometimes I think it’s a sin I say farewell and you will never see me again.
