Lyrics: Ten months had passed since they laid him low Under cold ground where wild roses grow Each night I wandered, alone in my shame Lost in the shadow of whispers and blame I walked these hills in a long black veil Hid from the moon, turned my face so pale The world moved on, unaware of me But I still knew why he let it be I knew he died just to guard my name He chose the silence; I bore the blame I could not carry the weight of the lie Decided soon after that I’d be there at his side I climbed these hills in a long black veil Prepared my soul for its final trail Under starlight I whispered goodbye Knowing by morning they’d find that I’d died Before I left, wrote the truth at last A letter sealed, to explain our past I begged forgiveness from those left behind Then took the peace I had longed to find I walked these hills in a long black veil Now side by side, love has left no trail The truth was told, and the town forgave Two lovers rest in one quiet grave
