And with the length of his mind, he darked the sun…
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

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
And with the length of his mind—he darked the sun
