"Sundown" is a song by Canadian folk artist Gordon Lightfoot, from the titular album, released as a single in March 1974. "Sundown" reached number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and easy listening charts and number 13 on the Hot Country Singles chart, as well as number one in Canada on RPM's national singles chart.

The lyrics describe a troubled romantic relationship (often cited as Cathy Smith), with the narrator recounting an affair with a "hard-loving woman [who's] got me feeling mean".

In a 2008 interview, Lightfoot said:

I think my girlfriend was out with her friends one night at a bar while I was at home writing songs. I thought, 'I wonder what she’s doing with her friends at that bar!' It's that kind of a feeling. 'Where is my true love tonight? What is my true love doing?'

Here is my Cover of it. Thanks for listening. Thanks for your comment.
