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 goodbye, not even a note
She's gone with the man in the long black coat

Somebody saw 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

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
And it's true sometimes you could see it that way
But people don't live or die, people just float
She went with the man in the long black coat

La, la la la, la la la, la la la
La la la la la, la la la, la la la
La, la la la, la la la, la la la
La la la la la, la la la, la la la la

There's smoke on the water, it's been there since June
Tree trunks uprooted 'neath the high crescent moon
And with the pulse and vibrations and the rumblin' force
Somebody's out there beatin' on a dead horse
She never said nothin', not even a note
She gave her heart to the man in the long black coat

Somebody said from the Bible he'd quote
Oh, she's gone with the man in the long black coat

[3x:]
La, la la la, la la la, la la la
La la la la la, la la la, la la la
La, la la la, la la la, la la la
La la la la la, la la la, la la la la
