I can see her lying back in her satin dress In a room where you do what you don't confess Sundown, you better take care If I find you been creeping 'round my back stairs Sundown, you better take care If I find you been creeping 'round my back stairs She's been looking like a queen in a sailor's dream And she don't always say what she really means Sometimes I think it's a shame When I get feeling better, when I'm feeling no pain Sometimes I think it's a shame When I get feeling better, when I'm feeling no pain I can picture every move that a man could make Getting lost in her loving is your first mistake Sundown, you better take care If I find you been creeping 'round my back stairs Sometimes I think it's a sin When I feel like I'm winning, when I'm losing again I can see her looking fast in her faded jeans She's a hard-loving woman, got me feeling mean Sometimes I think it's a shame When I get feeling better, when I'm feeling no pain Sundown, you better take care If I find you been creeping 'round my back stairs Sundown, you better take care If I find you been creeping 'round my back stairs Sometimes I think it's a sin When I feel like I'm winning, when I'm losing again

Ribbon of darkness over me Since my true love walked out the door Tears I never had before Ribbon of darkness over me Clouds are gathering over my head That kill the day and hide the sun That shroud the night when day is done Ribbon of darkness over me Rain is falling on the meadow Where once my love and I did lie Now she is gone from the meadow My love, goodbye Ribbon of darkness over me Where once the world was young as spring Where flowers did bloom and birds did sing Ribbon of darkness over me Here in this cold room lying Don't want to see no-one but you Lord, I wish I could be dying To forget you How I wish your heart could see How mine just aches and breaks all day Come on home and take away This ribbon of darkness over me Come on home and take away This ribbon of darkness over me This ribbon of darkness over me This ribbon of darkness over me This ribbon of darkness over me

Through the woodland, through the valley Comes a horseman wild and free Tilting at the windmills passing Who can the brave young horseman be He is wild but he is mellow He is strong but he is weak He is cruel but he is gentle He is wise but he is meek Reaching for his saddlebag He takes a battered book into his hand Standing like a prophet bold He shouts across the ocean to the shore Till he can shout no more I have come o'er moor and mountain Like the hawk upon the wing I was once a shining knight Who was the guardian of a king I have searched the whole world over Looking for a place to sleep I have seen the strong survive And I have seen the lean grown weak See the children of the earth Who wake to find the table bare See the gentry in the country Riding off to take the air Reaching for his saddlebag He takes a rusty sword into his hand Then striking up a knightly pose He shouts across the ocean to the shore Till he can shout no more See the jailor with his key Who locks away all trace of sin See the judge upon the bench Who tries the case as best he can See the wise and wicked ones Who feed upon life's sacred fire See the soldier with his gun Who must be dead to be admired See the man who tips the needle See the man who buys and sells See the man who puts the collar On the ones who dare not tell See the drunkard in the tavern Stemming gold to make ends meet See the youth in ghetto black Condemned to life upon the street Reaching for his saddlebag He takes a tarnished cross into his hand Then standing like a preacher now He shouts across the ocean to the shore Then in a blaze of tangled hooves He gallops off across the dusty plain In vain to search again Where no one will hear Through the woodland, through the valley Comes a horseman wild and free Tilting at the windmills passing Who can the brave young horseman be He is wild but he is mellow He is strong but he is weak He is cruel but he is gentle He is wise but he is meek

about

PRF Monthly Tribute Series Chicago, Illinois

Here's the scoop: A band is picked at the start of the month. Musicians have the full month to record songs by that band, or about that band, or in the style of the band - it's real loose! At the end of the month, we vote for our top three recordings. The winning entry selects the next month's band. Good times and killer recordings since 2014! ... more
