Intro:
I thou ght if I f ought you
In the open fi eld
Your bayonet would cra ck
On my hot iron shield
But yo u caught me r unning
Now I 'm at your co mmand
A servant to forces
That I don't understand
Instrumental : /
If y ou were the s hepherd
And I was the l amb
And long was the jo urney
And dark was the la nd
Who would be f ollowing
Who would be f ree
Wh o would bel ieve
That the shepherd was me
When that poet dec ides
How the heroine dies
He commits or iginal sin
When that l ast ray decays
From the boardwalk pa rades
Yours is the longest shadow to f ade
Instrumental : (x2)
Oklaho ma,
don't bury your eyes
Night receives morning
Like death receives life
Blown are the a shes
Of the emperor's c lothes
All through the cornfields
Planted in rows
When that poet dec ides
How the heroine dies
He commits or iginal sin
When that l ast ray decays
From the boardwalk pa rades
Yours is the longest shadow to f ade
Yours is the longest shadow to f ade
