|
Life was good for a short while |
|
Hot sweet nights days that were fine |
|
Spent many hours just looking at you |
|
Heart stopped beating for a moment or two |
|
Long black veil now you are mine |
|
Sun went down never to rise |
|
Lost in tears filling my eyes |
|
Saw my love trampled deep in the dirt |
|
Overwhelmed by the bitterest hurt |
|
Long black veil now you are mine |
|
I've lately felt a stirring |
|
Of ghosts around my mind |
|
And I'm frightened of the things that I might find |
|
The veil of black that claimed you |
|
And took you from my sight |
|
Has marched across the sands of time tonight |
