Текст песни Man In the Long Black Coat - Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Crickets
are
chirpin',
the
water
is
high,
There's
a
soft
cotton
dress
on
the
line
hangin'
dry,
Window
wide
open,
African
trees
Bent
over
backwards
from
a
hurricane
breeze.
Not
a
word
of
goodbye,
note
even
a
note,
She
gone
with
the
man
In
the
long
black
coat.
Somebody
seen
him
hanging
around
At
the
old
dance
hall
on
the
outskirts
of
town,
He
looked
into
her
eyes
when
she
stopped
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
a
talkin'
there's
a
sermon
he
gave,
He
said
every
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
is
true
sometimes
you
can
see
it
that
way.
Bridge:
But
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
Feel
the
pulse
and
vibration
and
the
rumbling
force
Somebody
is
out
there
beating
the
dead
horse.
She
never
said
nothing
there
was
nothing
she
wrote,
She
gone
with
the
man
In
the
long
black
coat.
