Default Re: Song lyrics that make you shiver

[ QUOTE ]
Ten years ago, on a cold, dark night
There was someone killed 'neath the townhall lights
There were few at the scene, and they all did agree
That the man who ran looked a lot like me.

The judge said, Son, what is your alibi?
If you were somewhere else, then you don't have to die.
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life
I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife.

She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave where the night winds wail
Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees
Nobody knows but me.

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.

She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees
Nobody knows but me.

The Band does this song incredibly well.
