David Gray - Long Black Veil lyrics

Ten years ago, on a cold dark night Someone was k**ed 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 The judge said: Son, what is your alibi? If you were somewhere else, then you wont have to die I said not a word, though it meant my life For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife Oh, 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 Oh, now the scaffold is high, eternity is near She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear And sometimes at night, when the cold winds blow 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 Oh, 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 knows but me Nobody knows but me
