The carriage horses stamp and fume [00:00:21]

Until all color's gone [00:00:26]

They leave the street in black and white [00:00:32]

And bring the eventing coming on [00:00:36]

Lovers tug their way out of gloves [00:00:41]

Out of shoes and gray chiffon [00:00:45]

The driver pulls his blanket high [00:00:51]

And pretends to look beyond [00:00:56]

Pray for you pray for me [00:01:01]

Sing it like a song [00:01:06]

Life is sort but by the grace of God [00:01:11]

This night is long [00:01:16]

Girls crowd into bathroom stalls [00:01:25]

The boys smoke in their cars [00:01:30]

The general he's in civilian clothes [00:01:35]

Standing at the bar [00:01:40]

He waves to the deaf flower lady [00:01:45]

Come sit by me sweetheart [00:01:48]

He draws a napkin battle plan [00:01:55]

Says this is where we start [00:01:59]

Oh pray for you pray for me [00:02:04]

Sing it like a song [00:02:09]

Life is sort but by the grace of God [00:02:14]

The night is long [00:02:19]

There are no more hummingbirds [00:02:24]

Like there used to be [00:02:29]

They're fat and slow and careless now [00:02:33]

They've turned blue and mean [00:02:38]

And the parrots sound like monkeys [00:02:43]

Screamin' from the trees [00:02:48]

As the decent people [00:02:53]

Fumble for their keys [00:02:57]

We used to spend the night in town [00:03:02]

Down by the City Hall [00:03:07]

And the water works of Irish Beach [00:03:12]

Just below the falls [00:03:17]

We'd walk down to the Park Hotel [00:03:22]

Past the Baptist Veteran's Mall [00:03:26]

Back then a man in uniform [00:03:31]

Might mean anything at all [00:03:36]

Oh pray for you pray for me [00:03:40]

Sing it like a song [00:03:46]

Life is short but by the grace [00:03:51]

Oh God the night is long [00:03:55]

Pray for you pray for me [00:04:01]

Sing it like a song [00:04:05]

Life is short but by the grace or cruel [00:04:10]

Heart of God the night is long [00:04:14]
