Crickets are chirpin, the water is high.There's a soft cotton dress on the line hangin dry.Windows wide open, African trees. Bent over backward In a hurricane breeze.Not a word of goodbye, not even a note.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 he stopped her to ask, If she wanted to dance. He had a face like a mask.Somebody said from the Bible he quote.There's dust on the man In the long black coat.Preacher was talkin.', there's a sermon he gave. He said, "Every mans conscienceIs vile and depraved. You cannot depend on it to be your guide. And it's you who must keep satisfied."It ain't easy to swallow. It sticks in the throat. She gave her heart to the manIn the long black coat"There are no mistakes in life," some people say. And It's true sometimesYou could see it that way.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 neath the high crescent moon.Hear the pulse and; vibrato, the rumbling force. Somebody's out there beating on a dead horse.She never said nothing. There's nothing she wrote. She's gone with the manIn the long black coat .
