[00:00.00] The carriage horses stamp and fume
[00:26.79]Until all color's gone
[00:31.65]They leave the street in black and white
[00:37.05]And bring the evening coming on
[00:41.64]Lovers tug their way out of gloves
[00:45.42]Out of shoes, and gray chiffon
[00:51.33]The driver pulls his blanket high
[00:55.23]And pretends to look beyond
[00:59.58]Oh, pray for you, pray for me
[01:05.82]Sing it like a song
[01:10.74]Life is short but, by the grace of God
[01:15.99]This night is long
[01:25.74]Girls crowd into bathroom stalls
[01:30.84]The boys smoke in their cars
[01:35.28]The general, he's in civilian clothes
[01:40.50]Standing at the bar
[01:44.91]He waves at the deaf flower lady
[01:48.60]"Come sit by me, sweetheart"
[01:54.72]He draws a napkin battle plan
[01:58.74]Says, " this is where we start"
[02:03.60]Oh pray for you, pray for me
[02:09.00]Sing it like a song
[02:13.95]Life is sort but, by the grace of God
[02:19.23]This night is long
[02:24.27]There are no more hummingbirds
[02:29.07]Like there used to be
[02:33.42]They're fat and slow and careless now
[02:37.98]They've turned blue and mean
[02:42.99]And the parrots sound like monkeys
[02:48.15]Screaming from the trees
[02:53.16]As the decent people
[02:57.36]Fumble for their keys
[03:02.37]We used to spend the night in town
[03:07.23]Down by city hall
[03:12.09]And the water works of Irish Beach
[03:17.58]Just below the falls
[03:21.96]We'd walk down to the Park Hotel
[03:25.65]Past the Baptist Veteran's Mall
[03:31.53]Back then, a man in uniform
[03:35.70]Might mean anything at all
[03:40.08]Oh, pray for you, pray for me
[03:45.87]Sing it like a song
[03:50.88]Life is short but, by the grace or cruel heart of God
[04:15.60]The night is long
