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
