(Nanci Griffith)
|
The sun will stop shinin'
|
Hearts will stop poundin'
|
The screen is so lonely tonight
|
The men are out prayin'
|
The women are sayin'
|
She died for the loss of her prime
|
And lived on DiMaggio time
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Farewell you old tinsel city
|
With your waltz in the mornin'
|
And your neon at night
|
I've bathed in your loneliness
|
Drank of your wine
|
I lived on DiMaggio time
|
|
Hearts felled to paradise still rest in her eyes
|
She was no fading light
|
|
Hot night in August
|
So Long to the Goddess
|
"America's fatherless child"
|
Immortal's forever
|
That Queen of the camera
|
The master of winkin' a smile
|
And leaving her shadow behind
|
|
[Chorus 2x]
|
