Man In The Long Black Coat - Steve Hackett[00:00:00]
Crickets are chirping the water is high[00:01:22]
There's a soft cotton dress on the line hanging dry[00:01:26]
Windows wide open African trees[00:01:31]
Bent over backward from a hurricane breeze[00:01:36]
Not a word of goodbye not even a note[00:01:44]
She gone with the man in the long black coat[00:01:49]
Somebody seen him hanging around[00:01:57]
At the old dance hall on the outskirts of town[00:02:01]
He looked into her eyes when she stopped him to ask[00:02:06]
If she wanted to dance he had a face like a mask[00:02:11]
Somebody said from The Bible he quote[00:02:19]
There was dust on the man in the long black coat[00:02:23]
Preacher was a talking there's a sermon he gave[00:02:37]
He said every man's conscience is vile and depraved[00:02:41]
You cannot depend on it to be your guide[00:02:46]
When it's you who must keep it satisfied[00:02:50]
It ain't easy to swallow it sticks in the throat[00:02:58]
To give her heart to the man in the long black coat[00:03:03]
There are no mistakes in life some people say[00:03:11]
And its true sometimes you can see it that way[00:03:16]
Well people don't live or die people just float[00:03:21]
She went with the man in the long black coat[00:03:25]
People don't live or die people just float[00:03:56]
She went with the man in the long black coat[00:04:00]
There's smoke on the water it's been there since June[00:04:08]
Tree trunks uprooted neath the high crescent moon[00:04:13]
With a pulse and vibration and the rumbling force[00:04:17]
Someone is out there beating on a dead horse[00:04:22]
She never said nothing there was nothing she wrote[00:04:30]
She gone with the man in the long black coat[00:04:35]
