Long ago high on a mountain in Mexico
lived a young shepherd boy Angelo
met a young girl and he loved her so
rich was she
came from a very high family
Angelo knew it could never be
they ran away to their destiny

Running away together
running away forever
Angelo
Running away from danger
running from ev'ry stranger
Angelo
They knew it wasn't wrong
they found a love so strong
they took their lives that night and in the morning light
they found them on the sand
they saw them lying there hand in hand

In the middle of a lonely day
though you're with me you're so far away
we used to be close real close
