Lyrics to Come Sundown

Songwriters: Kristofferson, K;

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'

For the worst, Lord is 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
