The Raven And The Coyote
(专辑: Gringo Honeymoon - 1994)
I've been riding all day long through the
wall of rain In the
shadow of the
mountains on the
barren plains To my angel in the
village where a
lamplight glows If the
dogs there don't betray me, no one will know In the
city of the
soldier, in the
time of war There I
met my Angelina, I
was 24 We made arrangements soon thereafter Wedding plans were drawn just beyond the
sound of laughter Cannons thundered on when I
enlisted in the
army, Angelina cried I
whispered to her, "Don't you worry God is on our side" On the
battlegrounds before me His plan was soon revealed He guided me to fame and glory on the
battlefield Ooh ooh, the
raven flies, ooh ooh, the
coyote cries Juan Miguel Ramos Montoya led his rebels well We fought them through the
Emerald Valley to the
Sacred Hill In the
end we were defeated, I
was left for dead Juan Montoya took our city, Angelina fled I
took to hiding in the
mountains through the
wintertime In the
spring I
rode to safety across the
borderline I
sent word to Angelina, soon I
will return With the
full moon in the
window, let your lamplight burn From the
bluff above her village, my hope has turned to fright Only darkness in the
windows, not a
single light I
cursed my God and shook my angry fists at Him above Twice forsaken, once in war and now in love Ooh ooh, the
raven flies, ooh ooh, the
coyote cries I
ran in rage toward the
chapel, stricken by my loss I
vowed to leave my lifeless body upon His holy Cross But at the
altar of the
chapel, a
lonely candle shown Across the
face of Angelina kneeling all alone Ooh ooh, the
raven flies, ooh ooh, the
coyote cries Ooh ooh, the
raven flies, ooh ooh, the
coyote cries
