Kelly Willis - Sweet Sundown lyrics

How did you compete with such a tragic week How on earth did you know what to say And could you taste those tears on my trembling lips When you kissed my blues away Our time was short but the days were long I was tired but never too tired for you What a dragged away goodbye to your birthday girl When you can't afford the tickets for two And when the sundown something up against an autumn sky Now the sundown is nothing I would ever recognize Sitting on the docks late one evening Who could miss such a beautiful view Sweet sundown, I have nothing but love for you Once the Howard lakes have frozen And the bats go back to Mexico The backstreets are more than poison One each to someone you used to know The canyons were grand but I just couldn't stand A regret for a horrendous affair And once that moon went down on your Texas town It was too late to pretend you cared And when the sundown something up against an autumn sky Now the sundown is nothing I would ever recognize Sitting on the docks late one evening Who could miss such a beautiful view Sweet sundown, I have nothing but love for you And when the sundown something up against an autumn sky Now the sundown is nothing I would ever recognize Sitting on the docks late one evening Who could miss such a beautiful view Sweet sundown, I have nothing but love for you Oh, sweet sundown, I have nothing but love for you
