Walkabouts - Long Black Veil lyrics

rate me

Beyond the reach

Beyond the reach

There are rows of tender hooks

There are rows of tender hooks

Where nothing seems

Where nothing seems

To justify a second look

To justify a second look

And not a soul is found

And not a soul is found

To tear them hooks on down

To tear them hooks on down

Famous times

Famous times

Tattooed on this burlap skin

Tattooed on this burlap skin

And gun cold days

And gun cold days

Shot to pieces above my head

Shot to pieces above my head

Now tell who's that clown

Now tell who's that clown

Who pulled this veil on down

Who pulled this veil on down

Long black veil

Long black veil

Long black

Long black

Long black veil

Long black veil

Long black

Long black

If light's a brighter grey

If light's a brighter grey

Please then turn it up

Please then turn it up

This whole town wears it's veil down

This whole town wears it's veil down

And wrestles with some all-night clown

And wrestles with some all-night clown

And he don't sleep

And he don't sleep

And he don't sleep

And he don't sleep

Long black veil

Long black veil

Long black

Long black

Long black veil

Long black veil

Long black

Long black

Long black veil

Long black veil

Long black

Long black

Long black veil

Long black veil

Tell me long black

Tell me long black
