| [00:08.450] |
I sang the song slowly |
| [00:10.453] |
As she stood in the shadows |
| [00:13.949] |
She stepped to the light |
| [00:15.704] |
As my silver strigs spun |
| [00:20.703] |
She called with her eyes |
| [00:22.707] |
To the tune I's a-playin' |
| [00:26.211] |
But the song it was long |
| [00:28.194] |
And I'd only begun |
| [00:32.200][00:32.426] |
|
| [00:39.960] |
Through a bullet of light |
| [00:42.947] |
Her face was reflectin' |
| [00:46.448] |
The fast fading words |
| [00:48.198] |
That rolled from my tongue |
| [00:51.959] |
With a long-distance look |
| [00:53.954] |
Her eyes was on fire |
| [00:57.467] |
But the song it was long |
| [00:59.201] |
And there was more to be sung |
| [01:02.462][01:02.405] |
|
| [01:09.704] |
My eyes danced a circle |
| [01:11.698] |
Across her clear outline |
| [01:15.198] |
With her head tilted sideways |
| [01:17.454] |
She called me again |
| [01:20.952] |
As the tune drifted out |
| [01:22.960] |
She breathed hard enough the echo |
| [01:26.702] |
But the song it was long |
| [01:28.443] |
And it was far to the end |
| [01:31.452][01:32.411] |
|
| [01:40.207] |
I glanced at my guitar |
| [01:42.201] |
And played it pretendin' |
| [01:45.463] |
That of all the eyes out there |
| [01:47.960] |
I could see none |
| [01:50.707] |
As her thoughts pounded hard |
| [01:52.949] |
Like the pierce of an arrow |
| [01:57.203] |
But the song it was long |
| [01:58.945] |
And it had to get done |
| [02:02.451] |
|
| [02:10.464] |
As the tune finally folded |
| [02:12.694] |
I laid down the guitar |
| [02:16.450] |
Then looked for the girl |
| [02:18.204] |
Who'd stayed for so long |
| [02:21.949] |
But her shadow was missin' |
| [02:24.213] |
For all of my searchin' |
| [02:29.701] |
So I picked up my guitar |
| [02:31.955] |
And began the next song |
| [02:36.706] |
|
