Dave Matthews Band - Long Black Veil Lyrics
Ten years ago on a cold dark nightSomeone was killed beneath the townhall lightThere were few at the scene, but they all agreedThat the slayer who ran looked a lot like meShe walks these hills in a long black veilShe visits my grave when the night winds wailNobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but meThe judge said son, what is your aliby?If you were somewhere else, then you wont have to die.I said not a word, though it meant my life,For Id been in the arms of my best friends wife.Oh, 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.Oh, now the scaffold is high, eternity is nearShe stood in the crowd and shed not a tearAnd sometimes at night when the cold winds blowIn a long black veil she cries over my bones.She walks these hills in a long black veilShe visits my grave when the night winds wailNobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me.Oh, she walks these hills in a long black veilShe visits my grave when the night winds wailNobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me.Nobody knows. nobody knows, but me.Nobody knows but me.
