| [00:04.54] |
I sang the song slowly |
| [00:06.85] |
As she stood in the shadows |
| [00:10.15] |
She stepped to the light |
| [00:11.74] |
As my silver strings spun |
| [00:16.38] |
She called with her eyes |
| [00:18.54] |
To the tune I's a-playin' |
| [00:21.82] |
But the song it was long |
| [00:23.75] |
And I'd only begun |
| [00:34.94] |
Through a bullet of light |
| [00:38.08] |
Her face was reflectin' |
| [00:41.17] |
The fast fading words |
| [00:43.06] |
That rolled from my tongue |
| [00:46.56] |
With a long-distance look |
| [00:48.75] |
Her eyes was on fire |
| [00:52.16] |
But the song it was long |
| [00:54.07] |
And there was more to be sung. |
| [01:04.17] |
My eyes danced a circle |
| [01:06.13] |
Across her clear outline |
| [01:09.33] |
With her head tilted sideways |
| [01:11.65] |
She called me again |
| [01:14.92] |
As the tune drifted out |
| [01:16.98] |
She breathed hard through the echo |
| [01:20.55] |
But the song it was long |
| [01:22.41] |
And it was far to the end |
| [01:33.33] |
I glanced at my guitar |
| [01:35.65] |
And played it pretendin' |
| [01:38.71] |
That of all the eyes out there |
| [01:41.21] |
I could see none |
| [01:43.87] |
As her thoughts pounded hard |
| [01:46.19] |
Like the pierce of an arrow |
| [01:49.70] |
But the song it was long |
| [01:51.86] |
And it had to get done |
| [02:02.92] |
As the tune finally folded |
| [02:05.08] |
I laid down the guitar |
| [02:08.64] |
Then looked for the girl |
| [02:10.50] |
Who'd stayed for so long |
| [02:14.13] |
But her shadow was missin' |
| [02:16.28] |
For all of my searchin' |
| [02:21.56] |
So I picked up my guitar |
| [02:23.76] |
And began the next song |
