There's a place beyond the willows
Coldest nights I ever known
We went down to Dead Nose Canyon
So this story could be told

They say that there was once a lady
Sweetest smile you ever saw
Went to meet her fateful lover
Who was running from the law

Chorus
Two lovers
With no place to hide
Better run boy
Till no one can find ... you

She had followed his instructions
And hid among the canyon walls
Till he sent to her a signal
She would wait to hear his call

Well the law had caught up to him
Before he could make a sound
And they say the lovely lady
Never returned to her town

Chorus

Many say they can still hear her
Move along the canyon walls
She still waits to find her lover
She's still waiting for his call

Chorus
