With the Man in the Mask Lyrics by Lightnin’ Luke

2019

[Verse 1]
She walks home in the rain
A shadow follows closely by, and stalks
She goes in and out of her pain
Makes pretend that ignoring it
Could send it all away
[Verse 2]
She had a boy
In the war
Left behind to kill a hundred more
It wore her down to her core
She sought out some old preacher from before
And he
Tells her the tales from the Bible
She knows them all by heart
But spirits can’t change the past
And she knows
Pain can’t be bought
[Chorus]
I’m in love with thе man in the mask
And the horse hе rode
‘Cause I love dwelling on my pain
And I’m just sitting right here
He’s just sitting right here
[Verse 3]
Sleepless nights on the road
She makes some time to think it all through
Cries out like a crow
When she hears that faint fool imitation of below
[Verse 4]
She says, “I listen for him
“He’s with me all the time
“I can always whistle for him
“He’s with that devil in the sky.”
[Chorus]
I’m in love with the man in the mask
And the horse he rode
‘Cause I love dwelling on my pain
And I’m just sitting right here
He’s just sitting right here
[Bridge]
Yes, and someone else gonna save me when I’m gone
I heard him say
“Someone else gonna save me when I’m gone”
Whisper up to the heavens
And they’ll save you when you save
Just like they saved my only son
[Chorus]
I’m in love with the man in the mask
And the horse he rode
‘Cause I love dwelling on my pain
And I’ll be sitting right here
He’s just sitting right here
