Lyrics for Song: Man In The Long Black Coat
Lyrics for Album: Relish
Crickets are chirping
The water is high
ThereÂ’s a soft cotton dress on the line
Hang dry
The windowÂ’s wide open
African trees
Bent over backwards
In a hurricane breeze
Not a word of goodbye
Not even a note
SheÂ’s gone with the man in the
Long black coat
Somebody seen him
HanginÂ’ around
At the old dance hall
On the outskirts of town
He looked into her eyes
When she stopped him to ask
If he wanted to dance
He had a face like a mask
Somebody said
From the bible he quote
There was dust on the man in the
Long black coat
Preacher was talking
ThereÂ’s a sermon he gave
Said every manÂ’s conscience
Is vile and deprave
You can not depend on it
To be your guide
When itÂ’s you
Who must keep it satisfied
It ainÂ’t easy to swallow
It sticks in the throat
She gave her heart to the man in the
Long black coat
One, two
There are no mistakes in life
Some people say
ItÂ’s true sometimes
You can see it that way
People donÂ’t live or die
People just float
She gave her heart to the man in the
Long black coat
ThereÂ’s smoke on the water
ItÂ’s been there since June
Tree trunks uprooted
In the high crescent moon
Hear the pulse
And vibration
And the rumblinÂ’ force
SomebodyÂ’s out there
Beating on a dead horse
She never said nothinÂ’
There was nothinÂ’ she wrote
SheÂ’s gone with the man in the
Long black coat
SheÂ’s gone with the man in the
Long black coat
SheÂ’s gone
SheÂ’s gone
Gone with the man in the
Long black coat
Gone with the man in the
Long black coat
