Then Came The Night

	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 sumerI was workin' for her daddyI was still a boyBut i knew i was readyWhen she reached out and took my handShe became a womanANd i became a manI wonder if she still thinks about meThe way i still think about herYou dont forget something like thatThere's only one first time)
