๐ Lyrics
Ten years ago on a cold dark night
There was someone killed 'neath the town hall light
There were few at the scene but they all agreed
That the slayer 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, thou it meant my life
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife
She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the cold winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
The sky has turned dark, eternity's near
She stands in the crowd, she sheds not a tear
And sometimes at night, when the cold winds moan
In a long black veil, she cries over my bones
She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the cold winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
Nobody knows but me
Nobody knows but me
There was someone killed 'neath the town hall light
There were few at the scene but they all agreed
That the slayer 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, thou it meant my life
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife
She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the cold winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
The sky has turned dark, eternity's near
She stands in the crowd, she sheds not a tear
And sometimes at night, when the cold winds moan
In a long black veil, she cries over my bones
She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the cold winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
Nobody knows but me
Nobody knows but me
