The sun so high and lonely burst into flamenI was her one and only, she was my samenn[Chorus]nDon't cry for me JolenenWipe your tears awaynBeen an orphan since I was born andnI been dyin' since that daynnI chase her west for hours, she slips awaynLong dark clouds come between us, she cries like rainnn[Chorus]nnOn and on I will runnIf I can keep up with you I'll stay young forevernnWhen I got to California, she dropped in the oceannI felt the world inside me turn another day older
