The sun sets on dripping blood Shed for love And brought out from a gun Elizabeth is close to death Drawing final breaths She was so fine and so young Pedro runs across the barroom floor Bursting through the door On his way to the border by the sea His hand is still hot from rage There's nothing left to save All he can do is flee Now that heaven can finally breathe Resting on the sea While Pedro hides away from law Elizabeth wore Pedro's golden ring Along a silver string Yet she moaned among the farmer's straw Pedro shed the lonely tears Of a love lost in years He made a promise that he kept As he read aloud the vows she wrote With the heart she broke The sun set as he wept

The Quiet Love of Elizabeth and a Farmer
The sun sets on dripping blood Shed for love And brought out from a gun Elizabeth is close to death Drawing final breaths She was so fine and so young Pedro runs across the barroom floor Bursting through the door On his way to the border by the sea His hand is still hot from rage There's nothing left to save All he can do is flee Now that heaven can finally breathe Resting on the sea While Pedro hides away from law Elizabeth wore Pedro's golden ring Along a silver string Yet she moaned among the farmer's straw Pedro shed the lonely tears Of a love lost in years He made a promise that he kept As he read aloud the vows she wrote With the heart she broke The sun set as he wept
