Ten years ago on a cold, dark night |
|
Someone was kill beneath the town hall light |
|
There were few at the scene but they all did agree |
|
the slayer who ran, looked a lot like me |
|
She walks these hills, in along black veil |
|
she visits my grave, when the night winds wail |
|
nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me |
|
The judge said 'Son what is your alibi, if you were somewhere else then you don't have to die' |
|
Well I spoke not a word though it meant my life |
|
for I had been in the arms, of my best friends wife |
|
She walks these hills, in along black veil |
|
she visits my grave, when the night winds wail |
|
nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me |
|
Well the scaffold is high and eternity is near |
|
she stood in the crowd and shed not a tear |
|
but sometimes at night when the cold wind blows in a long black vail she cries over my bones |
|
She walks these hills, in along black veil |
|
she visits my grave, when the night winds wail |
|
nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me |
|
nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me |
