The sun burns your cheeks and the winds they blow wild
Shed walked along these shores ever since she was a child
Until she met a fine man, shed never felt such love before
And she knew in her heart she would love him forever more
(Chorus)
She had blood on her face, she had tears in her eyes
It must have been a thousand nights, shed sat alone and cried
But he has wished to marry, another woman instead
There with a knife in his heart and in her arms he laid
He was tendering to his horse, she saw him through a clearing
With his long, jet black hair and a single gold, drop earring
So she made herself known and their eyes softly met
She just knew it was love and her heart it became set
BRIDGE:
He taught her to sing and she taught him how to dance
She told him of her love hoping hed return it by chance
But his feeling for her were no stronger than a brother
When he told her that his heart was betrothed to another
