Trace Adkins - Then Came The Night

Trace Adkins

Then Came The Night

Long-legged shadows
Mississippi sunset
She was standing like a candle
That hasn'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' it's chains
Across our hearts
The moon was full
The grass was wet
Making us scream
Making 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 has hardened

I can see that 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' it's 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

[spoken]
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
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

Mirror lyrics:

There's only one first time
You don't forget something like that
I wonder if she still thinks about me, the way I still think about her
She became a woman, and I became a man
When she reached out and took my hand
I was still a boy, but I knew I was ready
I remember that summer, I was working for her daddy
[spoken]

Then came the night
It was right
It was wrong
Holdin' on tight
There again
I can't go back
Skin on skin
Breath on breath
Makin' us fall
Makin' us rise
Makin' us claw
Makin' us cling
Makin' us sweat
Makin' us scream
The grass was wet
The moon was full
Across our hearts
Draggin' it's chains
Warm and dark
Then came the night

A sound that I remember oh so well
Telling of the innocence that's dyin'
I can hear the ringin' mission bell
I can see that tattered white flag flyin'

And the ground has hardened
Where love won't grow
Past the garden
And the river just rolls
Climbin' up the tower
Now it's a vine
When love was a flower
There was a time

Then came the night
It was right
It was wrong
Holdin' on tight
Making us sweat
Making us scream
The grass was wet
The moon was full
Across our hearts
Draggin' it's chains
Warm and dark
Then came the night

The day was dyin' in a sea of red
From my lips a Lucky Strike was danglin'
On her mama's clothesline in my head
Cotton sheets dancin'
I can see those

Reaching for my matches
Had my hand in my pocket
Clouds like ashes
The wind was blowin'
That hasn't been burned yet
She was standing like a candle
Mississippi sunset
Long-legged shadows
