 Rate Long Black Veil
Artist : Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds
Song : Long Black Veil
(D. Del, M. Wilkins)
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
Ten years
ago, on a cold dark night
Someone was killed
'neath the Town Hall light
There were few at
the scene, but they all agreed
That the slayer
who ran looked a lot like me
The judge
he said: Son, what is your alibi
If you were
somewhere else, then you won't have to die
But
I spoke not a word though it meant my life
For
I'd been in the arms of my best friends
wife
Now the scaffold is high and
eternity is near
She stood in the crowd but
shed not a tear
But sometimes at night when
the cold winds moan
In a long black veil she
cries on my bones
