Текст (слова) песни: Townes Van Zandt - Sixteen summers, fifteen falls
by Townes Van Zandt
Let me tell you a story `bout a girl I knew fairest skin with eyes of blue I swear to the Lord that I loved her true it`s a year now she`s been gone Her spirit was as bright as the soft sunshine lips the color of strawberry wine I wish to God she still was mine The chance won`t come again After first we lay in love`s sweet bed with one look at her eyes I might have read all the pain that was flying through her head through my guilt I could not see I turned to her when the morning came hungry thoughts racing through my brain but the knife in her heart screamed herself she`d slain and a note whispered love too soon Her old man screamed and her mother cried all I could do was to wonder why a girl in her youth was forced to die is loving such a crime? She died [few in the years] with breasts still small seeing sixteens summers and fifteen falls me and my blindness never realized all the fear she kept inside Let me tell you a story `bout a girl I knew fairest skin with eyes of blue I swear to the Lord that I loved her true
