Intro And with the length of his mind, he darked the sun verse 1 It was not so long ago, maybe just a year or so When I was lonely and went 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 darked the sun verse 2 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 darked the sun Outro And with the length of his mind, he darked the sun
