Twas a hot afternoon, the last day of JuneAnd the sun was a demonThe clouds were afraid, 110 in the shadeAnd the pavements were steamingI told Billy Ray in his red ChevroletI needed time for some thinkingI was just walkin' by when I looked in her eyeAnd I swore it was winkin'She was thirty-one and I was seventeenI knew nothin' 'bout love, she knew everythingBut I sat down beside her on a front porch swingAnd wondered what the coming night would bringThe sun closed her eyes as it climbed in the skyAnd it started to swelterSweat trickled down the front of her gownAnd I thought it would melt herShe threw back her hair like I wasn't thereAnd she sipped on a JulepHer shoulders were bare and I tried not to stareWhen I looked at her two lipsAnd then she looked at me, I heard her softly say SongtexteI know you're young, you don't know what to do or sayBut stay with me until the sun has gone awayAnd I will chase the boy in you awayAnd then she smiled and we talked for a whileThen we walked for a mile to the seaWe sat on the sand and a boy took her hand But I saw the sunrise as a manTen years have gone by since I looked in her eyeBut the memory lingersI go back in my mind to the very first timeAnd feel the touch of her fingers Aus Songtexte Mania
