lyrics

one night
’neath the light of some far-burning star
I said you know you got a pretty crooked smile
a pretty crooked smile
and she said
are you saying it’s a pretty smile
or are you saying it’s a pretty crooked smile
there’s a difference between those two, you know

and I said
I meant it exactly as I said it, you know
you smile like you know something nobody else knows
and it’s a pretty thing to see
and she said
well, maybe I know something you don’t know
and maybe that’s why I’m smiling this way
maybe that’s why I’m smiling at you

and there’s no end to a smile like that
the breezes subside
but they come back again
and that was where it began
and this is where
it's where it begins

she laughed and said
you’re just a little bit full of yourself
if I didn’t know better I’d say you were drunk
your eyes look like pinballs in the dark
and I said
I was just thinking of porch swings and wishing wells
and the rush of the river, the way that it swells
after a long South Virginia rain
and long lines of cars and things that have gone and appearances
and how little they really mean to anyone
anyone

there’s no end
the breezes subside
there’s no end
the return of the tide
there no end
the memories might fade
there’s no end
to what we have made
