In solitude, by moonlight's stare
A darkened figure goes walking there
Amidst the leaves, all strewn about
Among the trees without a sound
Save for the tapping on the ground......
A windsept night, an autumn's chill
A shadow stretches across the hill
A stranger walks outside your sill
While you're asleep, while you are still
Where does he go? What does he want? What does it know, why does it haunt?
They say the Devil walks the night abouts
As tall as a tree, as broad as a house
To catch his gaze is to feel his force
To know he's there, is enough, of course
So if you ever cross his path
Stand clear away & let Him pass
Or join him by his side, My friend
I welcome you with Me again......
