Then Came the Night — текст песни (Trace Adkins)

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)
