March first on a dark enchanted cold disbelieving night
Two men, not approaching me, stood as far as I could see, gesturing, pointing towards the door
Let me in, hey mister would you let me in
One grabbed his gun and held it high cold sweat beads ran with daylight creeping
Carving up the sky

As the legend goes, I was white on white, strolled through the back streets like a theif in the night
Turned left on main and south towards four, saw two men shudder, never questioned, turned north
Hey you, what are you doing round here? You'd better keep on walking, never minding what you've seen
You'd better keep on walking, better keep on walking

Hey you, where you going
Ever seen these two before
Hey you, I was leaving

My bribe still stands today, they gave me my life for me not to say
What I should have done with what I saw on that cold night in Sleepy Hollow
Holding deep inside won't tell a soul, trying to forget that whole night
The sound of the gun, the slam of the door, one wrong deed done, what's one more
My bribe still stands today, they gave me my life for me not to say
What I should have done with what I saw

Come the morning, I'm leaving
No warnings, that I'll go
Come the morning I'm Sleepy Hollow's Ghost

March Two on a lazy Sunday late in the afternoon, one man, didn't sell his soul
It's just he don't know, it might have been a dream

Come the morning, I'm leaving
No warnings, that I'll go
Come the morning, I'm free and I'm breathing, I'm Sleepy Hollow's Ghost

Come the morning, I'm leaving
No warnings, that I'll go
Come the morning I'm Sleepy Hollow's Ghost
