The Devil's Feet

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