Lyrics:

When I was a child a story was told**lf**About the devil and a girl so bold**lf**He offered her riches, a fortune of gold**lf**And lovers abound**lf**But she lifted her soul**lf**She lifted her soul clean, oh clean**lf**And like the story was told**lf**On a dark country road**lf**The same man appeared to me**lf**But I reached, I reached**lf**Through the rain to the devil&ampapos;s feet**lf****lf**Now twenty years later to the place I return**lf**Where I scorned the angels for a passion that burned**lf**There set in the tree a knot twisted and turned**lf**The face of a creature hell bound**lf**So long ago **lf**Could my mind have played jokes on me, oh please**lf**As darkness sets in unavoidable sin**lf**The truth I try not to believe**lf**That I reached, I reached**lf**Through the rain to the devil&ampapos;s feet
