Johnny Flynn - Long Black Veil lyrics
[Johnny Flynn - Long Black Veil 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
She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visit's my grave when
The night winds wail and nobody knows
And nobody sees and nobody knows, but me
The judge said son, what is your alibi
If you were somewhere else
Well then you won't have to die
And I spoke not a word
Though it meant my life
For I'd been in the arms
Of my best friends wife
She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visit's my grave when
The night winds wail nobody knows
And nobody sees and nobody knows, but me
The scaffold was high and eternity near
She moved through the crowd and
She shed not a tear
Sometimes at night when the cold winds moan
She visit's my grave and she
Cries o'er 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
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
She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visit's my grave when
The night winds wail and nobody knows
And nobody sees and nobody knows, but me
The judge said son, what is your alibi
If you were somewhere else
Well then you won't have to die
And I spoke not a word
Though it meant my life
For I'd been in the arms
Of my best friends wife
She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visit's my grave when
The night winds wail nobody knows
And nobody sees and nobody knows, but me
The scaffold was high and eternity near
She moved through the crowd and
She shed not a tear
Sometimes at night when the cold winds moan
She visit's my grave and she
Cries o'er 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
