[01:11.65]Crickets are chirping the water is high
[01:15.27]There's a soft cotton dress on the line hanging' dry
[01:19.89]Window's wide open African trees
[01:24.51]Bent over backwards from a hurricane breeze
[01:32.75]Not a word a goodbye not even a note
[01:37.12]She's gone with the man in the long black coat
[01:46.12]Somebody seem him hanging' around
[01:50.04]At the old dance hall on the outskirts of town
[01:54.92]He looked into her eyes when she stopped him to ask
[01:58.98]If he wanted to dance he had a face like a mask
[02:07.91]Somebody said from the Bible he quote
[02:12.29]There was dust on the man in the long black coat
[02:25.47]Preacher was talking' there's a sermon he gave
[02:29.29]He said every man's conscience is vile and depraved
[02:34.80]You cannot depend on it to be your guide
[02:38.92]When it's you who must keep it satisfied
[02:47.35]It ain't easy to swallow it sticks in the throat
[02:51.60]She gives her heart to the man in the long black coat
[03:00.33]There are no mistakes in life some people say
[03:04.33]And it's true sometimes you can see it that way
[03:09.57]People don't live or die people just float
[03:13.75]She went with the man in the long black coat
[03:26.81]There's smoke on the water it's been there since June
[03:31.24]Tree trunks uprooted in the high crescent moon
[03:36.04]Hear the pulse and vibrations and the rumbling' force
[03:40.35]Somebody's out there beating on a dead horse
[03:49.15]She never said nothing' there was nothing' she wrote
[03:53.14]She's gone with the man in the long black coat
