Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 man who ran looked a lot like me The judge said Son, what is your alibi If you were somewhere else, then you don't have to die I spoke not a word thought it meant my life I was in the arms of my best friend's wife [Chorus] She walks these hills in a long black veil She visits my grave while the night winds wail Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows but me [Verse 2] The scaffold was high and eternity near She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear But sometimes at night when the cold winds moan In a long black veil she cries over my bones [Chorus 2] She walks these hills in a long black veil She visits my grave while the night winds wail Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows but me Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows but me
