When I Was A Child A Story Was Told

About The Devil And A Girl Oh So Bold

He Offered Her Riches, A Fortune Of Gold

And Lovers Abound

But She Lifted Her Soul

She Lifted Her Soul Clean Oh Clean

And Like The Story Was Told

On A Dark Country Road

The Same Man Appeared To Me

But I Reached

I Reached

Through The Rain To The Devil's Feet

Now Twenty Years Later To The Place I Return

Where I Scorned The Angels

For A Passion That Burned

There Set In The Tree A Knot Twisted And Turned

The Face Of A Creature Hell Bound

So Long Ago Could My Mind

Have Played Jokes On Me

As Darkness Sets In Unavoidable Sin

The Truth I Try Not To Believe

That I Reached I Reached

Through The Rain To The Devil's Feet
