Behind black rider

Came to pick up my last hope
And I won't be back for the rope

I have seen the linings of the leaves
I have seen the dawning of the trees

I have seen it happen
Over and over
As I was behind
Black rider

I ran like the wind out of time
Saved me the blue collar crime

I have seen the casting of the mask
I can sense the greening of the grass

I have seen it happen
Over and over
As I was behind
Black rider

I have seen the linings of the leaves
I have seen the dawning of the trees

I have seen it happen
Over and over
As I was behind
Black rider
