Man in Black

By midnights voice

Man in Black



He walked the streets a begger
They buried him like a king
He played a six string guitar
He wore no golden ring

She had the voice of angels
Survived a valley called death
Then fearing no evil
She passed every test

They wrote the songs with sunsets
They walked the line together
They stood in a ring of fire
In love they burned forever

    Honestly I think you should maybe name this something else. The guy doesn't seem to have anything associated with 'black' and 'men in black' is a film and this isn't related...

    The man in Black is Johnny cash... it’s a tribute to him as well as to June Carter. Nothing to do with men in Black, the movie.
