A Shot At Twilight (Monody)
I met him in a tavern quaint
He had eyes as black as sin
His gaze made me feel so faint
There was hair upon his chin
He followed me to the seaside
We laid upon the sand
He looked at me with eyes so wide
And asked me for my hand
He placed upon my finger
A ring so big and bright
On the sand we did linger
And stayed there most of the night
Just before the dawn did break
In the twilight of the hour
He began to quake and shake
She was there with an angry glower
She shot him once in the chest
With a big, old forty four
He fell forward on my breast
There was just too much gore
In an instant he was gone
No more to breathe the air
His last breath had been drawn
In my tangled hair
My love is gone forever
She shot him and walked away
We can never be together
To my dying day
How have I lived without him?
He had the blackest eyes
My own eyes have grown dim
But I have become so wise
Don't fall in love with someone
Whose eyes are black as sin
For you will be the dumb one
And you will never win
Someone came and shot him
And I am left alone
I fell for eyes as black as sin
Now all my dreams have flown.
