The wind was blowing clouds like ashes, Had my hand in my pocket, reaching for my matches. I can see those cotton sheets dancin', On her momma's clothesline in my head. From my lips a lucky strike was danglin', The day was dying in a sea of red. Then came the night, warm and dark, Draggin' 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. There was a time when love was a flower, Now it's a vine that's climbin' up the tower. And the river just rolls past the garden, Where love won't grow and the ground is hardened. I can see that tired white flag flying, I can hear that ringing mission bell. Telling of the innocence that's dying, A sound that I remember oh so well. Then came the night, warm and dark, Draggin' its chains across our hearts. The moon was full, the grass was wet, Making us scream, making us sweat. Making us cling, making us claw, Making us rise, making us fall. Breath on breath, skin on skin, Can't go back there again. Holding on tight... it was wrong, it was right, Then came the night. Yeah, then came the night. Then came the night, Oh yeah, yeah. (repeat these chords to fade) INSTRUMENTAL
