《Man In The Long Black Coat》歌词

[00:00:00] Man In The Long Black Coat - Steve Hackett

[00:01:22] Crickets are chirping the water is high

[00:01:26] There's a soft cotton dress on the line hanging dry

[00:01:31] Windows wide open African trees

[00:01:36] Bent over backward from a hurricane breeze

[00:01:44] Not a word of goodbye not even a note

[00:01:49] She gone with the man in the long black coat

[00:01:57] Somebody seen him hanging around

[00:02:01] At the old dance hall on the outskirts of town

[00:02:06] He looked into her eyes when she stopped him to ask

[00:02:11] If she wanted to dance he had a face like a mask

[00:02:19] Somebody said from The Bible he quote

[00:02:23] There was dust on the man in the long black coat

[00:02:37] Preacher was a talking there's a sermon he gave

[00:02:41] He said every man's conscience is vile and depraved

[00:02:46] You cannot depend on it to be your guide

[00:02:50] When it's you who must keep it satisfied

[00:02:58] It ain't easy to swallow it sticks in the throat

[00:03:03] To give her heart to the man in the long black coat

[00:03:11] There are no mistakes in life some people say

[00:03:16] And its true sometimes you can see it that way

[00:03:21] Well people don't live or die people just float

[00:03:25] She went with the man in the long black coat

[00:03:56] People don't live or die people just float

[00:04:00] She went with the man in the long black coat

[00:04:08] There's smoke on the water it's been there since June

[00:04:13] Tree trunks uprooted neath the high crescent moon

[00:04:17] With a pulse and vibration and the rumbling force

[00:04:22] Someone is out there beating on a dead horse

[00:04:30] She never said nothing there was nothing she wrote

[00:04:35] She gone with the man in the long black coat
