Prompt / Lyrics
[intro] Walking the line Through life getting close Feeling its dark approach Romantic and easy to break We all have our day It’s written down and planned Nothing you can do to change I can be in a bed On the street Or in a tree with the leaves [chorus] So when you see the light A man in black follows behind Showing old memories Only time you’ll feel free Before you snap back Oooooh The man in black Yea The man in black Ooooooooh The man in black [dark violin solo] [verse2] Walking hand with hand Side by side Same speed Talking and reminiscing The good and bad The silence is so peaceful It makes you think Of what you’ve been missing All the evil it doesn’t matter At the end of the day When your time is done And you on your way So say what you came so say Ooooooh Ooooooh Yea Walking the same path as so many others Just couldn’t be bothered Ooooooh Oh [outro] So When the sun goes down And the silence is loud Starting the climb Reaching the top of the mound And you hear the sound The tip toe The shuffle of death Picking up what others left Oooooooooh Oh Oh [yell] OOOOOOOOOHHHHHH The man in black Oooooh The man in black Oh oh oh Yeeeeea The man in black So when you see the light A man in black follows behind Showing old memories Only time you’ll feel free Before you snap back Oooooh The man in black
