1
Twas a hot afternoon, the last day of June
2
And the sun was a demon
3
The clouds were afraid, 110 in the shade
4
And the pavements were steaming
5
I told Billy Ray in his red Chevrolet
6
I needed time for some thinking
7
I was just walkin' by when I looked in her eye
8
And I swore it was winkin'
9
She was thirty-one and I was seventeen
10
I knew nothin' 'bout love, she knew everything
11
But I sat down beside her on a front porch swing
12
And wondered what the coming night would bring
13
The sun closed her eyes as it climbed in the sky
14
And it started to swelter
15
Sweat trickled down the front of her gown
16
And I thought it would melt her
17
She threw back her hair like I wasn't there
18
And she sipped on a Julep
19
Her shoulders were bare and I tried not to stare
20
When I looked at her two lips
21
And then she looked at me, I heard her softly say
22
I know you're young, you don't know what to do or say
23
But stay with me until the sun has gone away
24
And I will chase the boy in you away
25
And then she smiled and we talked for a while
26
Then we walked for a mile to the sea
27
We sat on the sand and a boy took her hand
28
But I saw the sunrise as a man
29
Ten years have gone by since I looked in her eye
30
But the memory lingers
31
I go back in my mind to the very first time
32
And feel the touch of her fingers
