Trace Adkins - Then Came The Night [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Long-legged shadows
Mississippi sunset
She was standing like a candle
That hadn't been burned yet
The wind was blowing
Clouds like ashes
Had my hand in my pocket
Reaching for my matches
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 sea of red

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
There was a time
When love was a flower
Now it's a vine
Climbing 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 flying
I can hear the ringing mission bell
Telling of the innocence that's dying
A sound that i remember oh so well

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
I remember that summer
I was working 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

[Outro]
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
