Sundown (Gordon Lightfoot, © WC Music Corp) Show
I can see her lyin' back in her satin dress Sundown, you better take care She's been lookin' like a queen in a sailor's dream Sometimes I think it's a shame I can picture ev'ry move that a man could make; Sundown, you better take care I can see her lookin' fast in her faded jeans; Sometimes I think it's a shame

What does If You Could Read My Mind lyrics meaning?The lyric is as follows: "I will never be set free as long as I'm a ghost you CAN'T see."
