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 tremblin' 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
Somethin' up against an autumn sky
Now sundown is nothing I would ever recognize
Sittin' 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 backstreet's 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 rendez' affair
And once that moon went down on your Texas town
It was too late to pretend you cared
And when the sundown
Somethin' up against an autumn sky
Now sundown is nothing I would ever recognize
Sittin' 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
Somethin' up against an autumn sky
Now sundown is nothing I would ever recognize
Sittin' 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
