Ten years ago on a cold dark night |
| [00:16.02] |
A man was killed neath the town hall light |
| [00:25.31] |
There were few at the scene but they all agreed |
| [00:33.31] |
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me. |
| [00:43.01] |
The judge said, Son what is your alibi? |
| [00:50.48] |
If you were somewhere else then you wont have to die |
| [00:58.39] |
Well, I spoke not a word though it meant my life |
| [01:06.12] |
For I had been in the arms of my best friends wife. |
| [01:15.90] |
She walks these hills in a long black veil |
| [01:23.69] |
She visits my grave when the night winds wail |
| [01:33.81] |
Nobody knows, nobody sees, |
| [01:42.10] |
Nobody knows, but me. |
| [01:52.77] |
The scaffold is high an eternity nears |
| [02:00.34] |
She stood in the crowd, shed not a tear |
| [02:08.24] |
But sometimes at night when the cold winds moan |
| [02:15.85] |
She comes to my grave and she cries on my bones. |
| [02:25.64] |
She walks these hills in a long black veil |
| [02:33.44] |
She visits my grave when the night winds wail |
| [02:43.56] |
Nobody knows, nobody sees, |
| [02:51.83] |
Nobody knows, but me... |
