๐ Lyrics
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night
Someone was killed beneath the town hall light
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me
She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
Well the judge said, "Son, what is your alibi?
If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die"
But I said not a word though it meant my life
'Cause I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife
Well the scaffold is high, and eternity's near
She stood in the crowd and she shed not a tear
But sometimes at night when the cold wind blows
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 night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
Thanks so much
Someone was killed beneath the town hall light
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me
She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
Well the judge said, "Son, what is your alibi?
If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die"
But I said not a word though it meant my life
'Cause I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife
Well the scaffold is high, and eternity's near
She stood in the crowd and she shed not a tear
But sometimes at night when the cold wind blows
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 night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
Thanks so much
