come sundown

i heard the front door closing softly

as i wakened from my sleep;

with the soft 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.
