Man in the Long Black Coat

The crickets are chirpin

The water is hight

There's a soft cotton dress on the line hangin dry

The window's wide open

African trees

Bent over backwards in a hurricane breeze

Not a word of goodbye

Note even a note

She's gone with the man in the long black coat

The preacher was talkin

There's a sermon he gave

He said "Every man's conscience is vile and depraved

You cannot depend on it to be your guide

When it's you who must keep it satisfied"

It ain't easy to swallow

It sticks in the throat

She's gone with the man in the long black coat

Somebody seen him hangin around

At the old dance hall on the outskirts of town

He looked in her eyes when she stopped him to ask

If he wanted to dance he had a face like a mask

She never said nothin

There's nothin she wrote

She's gone with the man in the long black coat

One two

There are no mistakes in life

Some people say it's true sometimes

You can see it that way

People don't live or die

People just float

She's gone with the man in the long black coat

There's smoke on the water

It's been there since June

Tree trunks uprooted in the hight crescent moon

In the pulse and vibration and tremblin force

Someone's out there beatin on a dead horse

She never said nothin

There was nothin she wrote

She's gone with the man in the long black coat

She's gone

She's gone

Gone with the man in the long black coat
