Lyrics

I sang the song slowly
 As she stood in the shadows
 She stepped to the light
 As my silver strings spun
 She called with her eyes
 To the tune I's a-playin'
 But the song it was long
 And I'd only begun
 Through a bullet of light
 Her face was reflectin'
 The fast fading words
 That rolled from my tongue
 With a long-distance look
 Her eyes was on fire
 But the song it was long
 And there was more to be sung
 ♪
 My eyes danced a circle
 Across her clear outline
 With her head tilted sideways
 She called me again
 ♪
 As the tune drifted out
 She breathed hard through the echo
 But the song it was long
 And it was far to the end
 ♪
 I glanced at my guitar
 And played it pretendin'
 That of all the eyes out there
 I could see none
 As her thoughts pounded hard
 Like the pierce of an arrow
 But the song it was long
 And it had to get done
 ♪
 As the tune finally folded
 I laid down the guitar
 Then looked for the girl
 Who'd stayed for so long
 But her shadow was missin'
 For all of my searchin'
 So I picked up my guitar
 And began the next song
