Long legged shadows
Mississippi sunset
She was standing like a candle
That hadn't been burnt yet

The wind was blowing
The clouds like ashes
Had my hands in my pocket
Reaching for my matches

Hey, I can see those cotton sheets dancing
On her mama's clothesline in my head
From my lips a lucky strike was dangling
The day was dying in a see of red

Then came the night warm and dark
Dragging its chains across our hearts
The moon was full, the grass was wet
Making us scream, making us sweat
Holding on tight
It was wrong, it was right
Then came the night

There was a time when love was a flower
And now it's a vine that's climbing up the tower
And the river just rose past the garden
Where love won't grow and the ground is hardened

I can see that tattered white flag flying
I can hear the ringing mission bell
Telling of the innocence that's dying
A sound that I remember oh so well

Then came the night warm and dark
Dragging its chains across our hearts
The moon was full, the grass was wet
Making us scream, making us sweat
Making us cling, making us claw
Making us rise, making us fall
Breath on breath, skin on skin
You can't go back there again
Holding on tight
It was wrong it was right
Then came the night

Then came the night
Then came the night
