Too Soon For Sundown Lyrics

We're taking turns a-starin' down at the floor

As you tiptoe through the process of putting butter on your toast

Bedraggled and bewildered are two 'b's that we share

While last night's empty barrels are lingering in the air

Too good to be true… if such a thing could ever be

Too much time to fix on every screw that's a-shakin' free

Too ready to run down such a winning bet

But it's too soon for sundown to come down yet

The other night you asked me if we would share some kin

Which set me right to wondering 'bout the shape I'd be in

Rephrasing and reframing into the night no end

While this youngster is needing just to be held again

Too good to be true… if such a thing could ever be

Too much time to fix on every screw that's a-shakin' free

Too ready to run down such a winning bet

But it's too soon for sundown to come down yet

Cause it don't take a chainsaw to cut us to the quick

A lazy little word or two with tone will do the trick

Those triggers that we talk about in the calm and the cool

Look a lot like decorations when we start to talk like fools

Well there's been some problems, sad to say so

Those little rough notes, they come and they go

Cause if I've been one thing, more than one time or two

It's a hell of a challenge for a fine gal like you

Too good to be true… if such a thing could ever be

Too much time to fix on every screw that's a-shakin' free

Too ready to run down such a winning bet

But it's too soon for sundown to come down yet
