A Nightfall Songtext
von John and Mary

Late in the nighttime, met in a dream
I was only five in it and you
Were probably nineteen
You were playing in the capitol
Of Washington D.C.

I walked through corridors pale marble green
And then there you were playing
′The Streets of Baltimore' again
The fringe upon your coat sleeves
Slike leaves upon a tree

Maybe it was all because I played
Your records just before
Maybe it was something in your voice
That called to me again
Just like a sweater that wraps around
So close to me
You stayed with me then


Must have been summer porcelain clean
The room spread out a dome above me
Line of figurines
You said it was a song for me,
Your lamb a wild goose scene

Maybe it was all because I played
Your records just before
Maybe it was something in your voice
That called to me again
Just like a sweater that wraps around
So close to me
You stayed with me then

I dreamed green darkness
Sound filled the room
You walked away from me strumming a guitar
I fell with you

Maybe it was all because I played
Your records just before
Maybe it was something in your voice
That called to me again
Just like a sweater that wraps around
So close to me
You stayed with me then, a nightfall
