 The ----  turn of the interlude is used here and there where there is a long A.
 I sang  the song slowly
 As she  stood in the shadows
 
 She stepped to the light
 As my silver  strings spun
 She called  with her eyes
 To the tune  I's a-playin'
 But the song  it was  long
 And I'd only  begun

 Through a bullet of light
 Her face was reflectin'
 The fast fading words
 That rolled from my tongue
 With a long-distance look
 Her eyes was on fire
 But the song it was long
 And there was more to be sung.
 My eyes danced a circle
 Across her clear outline
 With her head tilted sideways
 She called me again
 As the tune drifted out
 She breathed hard through the echo
 But the song it was long
 And it was far to the end
 I glanced at my guitar
 And played it pretendin'
 That of all the eyes out there
 I could see none
 As her thoughts pounded hard
 Like the pierce of an arrow
 But the song it was long
 And it had to get done
 As the tune finally folded
 I laid down the guitar
 Then looked for the girl
 Who'd stayed for so long
 But her shadow was missin'
 For all of my searchin'
 So I picked up my guitar
 And began the next song

Through a bullet of light
Her face was reflectin'
The fast fading words
That rolled from my tongue
With a long-distance look
Her eyes was on fire
But the song it was long
And there was more to be sung.

My eyes danced a circle
Across her clear outline
With her head tilted sideways
She called me again
As the tune drifted out
She breathed hard through the echo
But the song it was long
And it was far to the end

I glanced at my guitar
And played it pretendin'

As her thoughts pounded hard
Like the pierce of an arrow
But the song it was long
And it had to get done

Then looked for the girl
Who'd stayed for so long
But her shadow was missin'
For all of my searchin'
So I picked up my guitar
