Sung 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 was playing
But the song, it was long and I'd only begun

Always worried of life, that piece was reflecting
Fast fading words that rolled from my tongue
With a long distance look, her eyes were on fire
But the song, it was long and there's more to be sung

My eyes danced a circle that crossed her clear outline
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

So I glanced at my guitar and I played it, pretending
That of all the eyes out further, I could see none
As their thoughts pounded hard like the pierce of an arrow
Yes the song, it was long and it had to get done

As the tune finally folded, I laid down the guitar
And I looked for the girl that had stayed for so long
But her shadow was missing for all of my searching
So I picked up my guitar and begun the next song
So I picked up my guitar and begun the next song
