And with the length of his mind 

He dark the sun

It was not so long ago

Maybe just a year or so

When I was lonely

And when looking for someone

Way down south in New Orleans

Just a-lookin' for a dream

And that's when I found him

That's where it all begun



He was there on that night

Said for you I know I'm right

I'll be with you until my race is run

He walked into my life

With his cold evil eyes

And with the length of his mind

He dark the sun



Well my memory cannot speak

And oh Lord I'm feeling weak

But I blame it on the fact that I was young

Though I know it may sound strange

There is no way I can change

What my fate has laid out for me now is done



He was there on that night

Said for you I know I'm right

I'll be with you until my race is run

He walked into my life

With his cold evil eyes

And with the length of his mind

He dark the sun



And with the length of his mind

He dark the sun
