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 
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 
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 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 something like that 
There's only one first time
