dave matthews band and dave matthews – long black veil lyrics
original lyrics and music by danny dill and marijohn wilkin
ten years ago, on a cold, dark night
someone was killed beneath 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 visits my grave when the night winds wail
n-body knows, n-body sees, n-body knows but me
the judge said, “son, what is your alibi?
if you were somewhere else,
then you won’t have to die.”
well, i said not a word
though it meant my life
for i’d been in the arms
of my best friend’s wife
oh, she walks these hills in a long black veil
she visits my grave when the night winds wail
n-body knows, n-body sees, n-body knows but me
oh now, the scaffold was high
eternity is near
she stood in the crowd
and she’d not a tear
oh, sometimes at night
when the cold winds blow
—she stands by my grave
and cries, soft & low. <<<<<< lyrics change
she walks these hills in a long black veil
she visits my grave when the night winds wail
n-body knows, n-body sees, n-body knows but me
she walks these hills in a long black veil
she visits my grave when the night winds wail
n-body knows, n-body sees, n-body knows but me
n-body knows, n-body sees, n-body knows but me
n-body knows but me...
n-body knows...
n-body knows...
n-body knows... but me.
