Long Afternoons

(앨범: A Man Must Carry On - 1977)

I once knew a woman
And she loved only me
And she knew how to touch me
And how to turn to me
She knew how to kiss
And she knew just what to whisper
No need to explain how I felt about her

And her hair it was brown
So soft brown in the sun
You could blow it away
When she took it down undone
So fresh light and clean
Like a snow'on a flower
No need to explain the way I still feel about her

Her ribbons and her lace
We shared in her room
I remember them well
On those long afternoons
And her words falling softly
Just like a warm summer shower
No need to explain the way I feel about her

Soon the hay fields are ripen
Soon the berries will show
And they will fade into autumn
And lie under the snow
Some years among many
Give so much to remember
There's no need to explain the way I feel about her
