Long-legged shadows, Mississippi sunset, She was standin' like a candle That hadnt been burned yet The wind was blowin Clouds like ashes Had my hand in my pocket Reachin for matches Hey i can see those cotton sheets dancin' On her mommas closeline in my head From my lips a Lucky Strike was danglin' The day was dying in a sea of red Then came the night, warm and dark Draggin it's chains across our hearts The moon was full, the grass was wet Making us scream, making us sweat Holdin on tight, it was wrong it was right Then came the night There was a time when love was flower and now its a vine thats climbin up the tower and the river just rolls past the garden where love wont grow and the ground is hardened oh i can see that tired white flag flying i can here that ringing ocean bell telling of the innocence thats dying the sound that i remember oh so well Then came the night, warm and dark Draggin it's chains across our hearts The moon was full, the grass was wet Making us scream, making us sweat making us cling, making us claw making us rise, making us fall breath on breath, skin on skin I cant go back there again Holdin on tight, it was wrong it was right Then came the night Yea then came the night Then came the night Ohh yeah, yeaah *Instrumental* |
