Long-legged shadows
|
Mississippi sunset
|
She was standing like a candle
|
That hadn't been burned yet
|
The wind was blowin'
|
Clouds like ashes
|
Had my hand in my pocket
|
Reaching for my matches
|
Ican see those
|
Cotton sheets dancin'
|
On her mama's clothesline in my head
|
From my lips a Lucky Strike was danglin'
|
The day was dyin' in a sea of red
|
|
Then came the night
|
Warm and dark
|
Draggin' its chains
|
Across our hearts
|
The moon was full
|
The grass was wet
|
Makin' us scream makin' us sweat
|
Holdin' on tight
|
It was wrong it was right
|
Then came the night
|
|
There was a time
|
When love was a flower
|
Now it's a vine
|
Climbin' up the tower
|
And the river just rolls
|
Past the garden
|
Where love won't grow
|
And the ground is hardened
|
I can see the tattered white flag flyin'
|
I can hear the ringin' mission bell
|
Telling of the innocence that's dyin'
|
A sound that i remember oh so well
|
|
|
Then came the night
|
Warm and dark
|
Draggin' its chains
|
Across our hearts
|
The moon was full
|
The grass was wet
|
Makin' us scream makin' us sweat
|
Makin' us cling makin' us claw
|
Makin' us rise makin' us fall
|
Breath on breath, skin on skin
|
I can't go back, there again
|
Holdin' on tight
|
It was wrong it was right
|
Then came the night
|
|
( I remember that sumer
|
I was workin' for her daddy
|
I was still a boy
|
But i knew i was ready
|
When she reached out and took my hand
|
She became a woman
|
ANd i became a man
|
|
I wonder if she still thinks about me
|
The way i still think about her
|
You dont forget something like that
|
There's only one first time)
