brian owens - long black veil lyrics

[verse 1]
ten years ago on a cold dark night
someone was k!lled ‘neath the town hall light
there were few at the scene, but they all did agree
that the slayer who ran looked a lot like me

[chorus]
she walks these hills in a long black veil
she visits my grave when the night winds wail
n0body knows, n0body sees
n0body knows but me

[verse 2]
the judge said, “son, what is your alibi?
if you were somewhere else, then you won’t have to die”
well, i spoke not a word, though it meant my life
i’d been in the arms of my best friend’s wife

[chorus]
she walks these hills in a long black veil
she visits my grave when the night winds wail
n0body knows, oh, lord, n0body sees
n0body knows but me

[verse 3]
the scaffold was high, and eternity near
she stood in the crowd, and shed not a tear
but sometimes at night when the cold wind moans
in a long black veil she cries over my bones
[chorus]
she walks these streets in a long black veil
she visits my grave when the night winds wail
n0body knows, n0body sees
n0body knows but me, oh
n0body knows, n0body sees
n0body knows but me
oh, n0body knows but me
n0body knows but me
n0body knows but me
