Then Came The Night

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

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 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]
