lyrics

It was 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 killer who ran looks a lot like me

She walks these hills in a long black veil
Visits my grave when the cold winds wail
Nobody knows nobody sees
Nobody knows but me

The judge said son, what’s your alibi
If you were somewhere’s else
Then you don’t have to die
I said not a word though it meant my life
For I’d been in the arms of my best friend’s wife

She walks these hills in a long black veil
Visits my grave when the cold winds wail
Nobody knows nobody sees
Nobody knows but me

The scaffolding’s high and eternity near
She stands in the crowd and she sheds not a tear
But sometimes at night when the cold winds moan
In a long black veil she cries over my bones

She walks these hills in a long black veil
Visits my grave when the cold winds wail
Nobody knows nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
Nobody knows nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
