Come Sundown Lyrics

I heard the front door closing softly,                     
as I wakened from my sleep;                              
With the last touch of her kips, 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.
