Jerry Jeff Walker - Long Afternoons lyrics

I once knew a woman And she loved only me And she knew how to touch me, And how to turn to me She knew how to kiss, and she knew just what to whisper No need to explain how I felt about her And her hair it was brown, So soft brown in the sun You could blow it away, When she took it down undone So fresh light and clean, Like a snow'on a flower No need to explain the way I still feel about her Her ribbons and her lace, we shared in her room I remember them well, On those long afternoons And her words falling softly, just like a warm summer shower No need to explain the way I feel about her Soon the hayfields are ripen Soon the berries will show And they will fade into autumn, And lie under the snow Some years among many, Give so much to remember There's no need to explain the way I feel about her
