The Move - Long Black Veil
There was someone killed 'neath the town hall light
There were few at the scene and they all did agree
That the man who ran looked a lot like me
The judge said "Son, what is your alibi?
If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die"
I spoke not a word although it meant my life
I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife
She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave where the night winds wail
Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
The sky froze high and eternity neared
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans
In a long black veil she cries over my bones

Biography
The Move rose to fame in Britain during the 60s and early 70s with such songs as Blackberry Way (written by Roy Wood)
Despite their success in Britain having 9 top 20 UK singles within 5 years, The Move gained little to no success in America.
The band went through many changes, Ace ended up leaving due to his mental health as well as Trevor who left after a feud with drummer Bev Bevans.
Jeff Lynne (who you may know from Electric Light Orchestra) joined the band at a point but the band disbanded shortly after that, with Jeff, Roy and Bev starting to form ELO.
