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
