lyrics

Stolen Afternoon, 1951

Walking slow Across the fields
The sun hangs low It warms your skin
Your long blond hair Tied in a scarf
Your tired hands Your button blouse

Your husband’s gone All Afternoon
The washing’s done Kids are at school
The curtains sway Caught in the breeze
And there you lay Smiling up at me

I don’t care what happens
Outside of this room
On a Stolen Afternoon
The sun might race across the sky
And steal you away too soon
On a Stolen Afternoon

I have never seen
The ocean’s breeze
But I see the waves
When I hear you breath
The salty air
I taste on your skin
In your eyes I see the blue
Horizon

Walking slow Leaving me behind
Back to your world Where the years fly by
You stop and turn At a quarter mile
One last wave
One last smile…

I don’t care what happens
Outside of this room
On a Stolen Afternoon
The sun might race across the sky
And steal you away too soon
On a Stolen Afternoon
