Dave Matthews Band - Long Black Veil lyrics
[Dave Matthews Band - Long Black Veil 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 visit's 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 won't have to die"
Well, I spoke 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 visit's 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
Oh, 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 visit's my grave when
The night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
She walks these hills in a Long Black Veil
She visit's my grave when
The night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
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 visit's 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 won't have to die"
Well, I spoke 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 visit's 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
Oh, 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 visit's my grave when
The night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
She walks these hills in a Long Black Veil
She visit's my grave when
The night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
