[Intro] [cello drone] [Verse 1] We were two lovers in the shade Thought of the valley as our own Two young souls made for the night Born to live and die alone [Chorus] Two lovers in the shade Two lovers in the shade [Verse 2] Cold winds crept down from the peaks Red clouds veiled the sky We watched the hills bleed away Watched the valley die [Chorus] Two lovers in the shade Two lovers in the shade [Verse 3] Cattle gathered in the field Nailed in place with a hundred eyes There was a woman up on the ridge Cried out in a vixen's guise
