Crickets are chirpin'the water is high

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

The window's wide open African trees

Bent over backwards from a hurricane breeze

Not a word of good-bye not even a note

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

Somebody's seen him hangin'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'd quote

There was dust on the man in the long black coat

Preacher was talkin' there's a sermon he gave

He said 'Ev'ry 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 gave her heart to the man in the long black coat

There are no mistakes in life

Some people say it's true sometimes you can see it that way

The people don't live or die

People just float

She went 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 high crescent moon

Hear the pulse and vibration and rumbling force

Somebody's out there beating on a dead horse

She never said nothing there was nothing she wrote

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