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 agree That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me The judge said son what is your alibi If you were somewhere else then you won´t have to die I spoke not a word though it meant my life For I had been in the arms of my best friend´s wife 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 scaffold´s high and eternity near She stood in the crowd and 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 but me Nobody knows but me
