long legged shadows mississippi sunset she was standin like a candle that hadn t been burned yet the wind was blowin clouds like ashes had my hand in my pocket reachin for my matches i can 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 tellin 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 withholdin 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 summer 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 don t forget somethin like that there s only one first time
