[00:08.450]I sang the song slowly
[00:10.453]As she stood in the shadows
[00:13.949]She stepped to the light
[00:15.704]As my silver strigs spun
[00:20.703]She called with her eyes
[00:22.707]To the tune I's a-playin'
[00:26.211]But the song it was long
[00:28.194]And I'd only begun
[00:32.200][00:32.426]
[00:39.960]Through a bullet of light
[00:42.947]Her face was reflectin'
[00:46.448]The fast fading words
[00:48.198]That rolled from my tongue
[00:51.959]With a long-distance look
[00:53.954]Her eyes was on fire
[00:57.467]But the song it was long
[00:59.201]And there was more to be sung
[01:02.462][01:02.405]
[01:09.704]My eyes danced a circle
[01:11.698]Across her clear outline
[01:15.198]With her head tilted sideways
[01:17.454]She called me again
[01:20.952]As the tune drifted out
[01:22.960]She breathed hard enough the echo
[01:26.702]But the song it was long
[01:28.443]And it was far to the end
[01:31.452][01:32.411]
[01:40.207]I glanced at my guitar
[01:42.201]And played it pretendin'
[01:45.463]That of all the eyes out there
[01:47.960]I could see none
[01:50.707]As her thoughts pounded hard
[01:52.949]Like the pierce of an arrow
[01:57.203]But the song it was long
[01:58.945]And it had to get done
[02:02.451]
[02:10.464]As the tune finally folded
[02:12.694]I laid down the guitar
[02:16.450]Then looked for the girl
[02:18.204]Who'd stayed for so long
[02:21.949]But her shadow was missin'
[02:24.213]For all of my searchin'
[02:29.701]So I picked up my guitar
[02:31.955]And began the next song
[02:36.706]
