[00:07.39] Ten years ago on a cold dark night
[00:13.84] A man was killed neath the town hall light
[00:21.67] There were few at the scene but they all agreed
[00:29.27] That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me.
[00:36.94] The judge said, Son what is your alibi?
[00:44.86] If you were somewhere else then you wont have to die
[00:53.26] Well, I spoke not a word though it meant my life
[00:59.47] For I had been in the arms of my best friends wife.
[01:09.65] She walks these hills in a long black veil
[01:16.86] She visits my grave when the night winds wail
[01:33.06] Nobody knows, nobody sees,
[01:34.03] Nobody knows, but me.
[01:41.26] The scaffold is high an eternity nears
[01:48.75] She stood in the crowd, shed not a tear
[01:56.61] But sometimes at night when the cold winds moan
[02:03.61] She comes to my grave and she cries on my bones.
[02:13.08] She walks these hills in a long black veil
[02:21.34] She visits my grave when the night winds wail
[02:30.76] Nobody knows, nobody sees,
[02:37.94] Nobody knows, but me...
[02:40.80]
