LA
LA
I sang the song slowly
MI6 LA
As she stood in the shadows
RE/FA#
She stepped to the light
MI6 LA
As my silver strings spun
LA MI
She called with her eyes
RE LA
To the tune I's a-playin'
LA LAsus4
But the song it was long
MI6
And I'd only begun
LA LAsus4 LA LAsus2 LA

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
