Lyrics

[Verse 1] When I was a child a story was told About the devil and a girl, oh so bold He offered her riches, a fortune of gold And lovers abound [Verse 2] But she lifted her soul She lifted her soul clean, oh clean Like the story was told on a dark country road The same man appeared to me [Chorus] But I reached, I reached Through the rain to the devil's feet [Verse 3] Now twenty years later to the place I return Where I scorned the angels for a passion that burned There set in the tree a knot twisted and turned The face of a creature hell bound [Verse 4] So long ago Could my mind have played jokes on me, oh please As darkness sets in unavoidable sin The truth I try not to believe [Chorus] I reached, I reached Through the rain to the devil's feet I reached, I reached Through the rain to the devil's feet
