|
Ten years ago on a cool dark night |
|
There was someone killed 'neath the town hall light |
|
There were few at the scene and they all did agree |
|
That the man who ran looked a lot like me |
|
The judge said ``Son, what is your alibi? |
|
If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die'' |
|
I spoke not a word although it meant my life |
|
I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife |
|
She walks these hills in a long black veil |
|
She visits my grave where the night winds wail |
|
Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees |
|
Nobody knows but me |
|
The sky froze high and eternity neared |
|
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear |
|
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans |
|
In a long black veil she cries over my bones |
