가사
(Verse 1)
In the heart of the West, where the wild rivers flow,
There was a girl named Opal, pure as the snow.
She rode through the valleys, the plains, and the hills,
Her heart filled with love, her soul with goodwill.
By the Cumberland Falls, 'neath the moon’s silver glow,
She met a young cowboy, with eyes like the crow.
They danced in the moonlight, they whispered sweet dreams,
Unaware of the darkness, unseen in the seams.
(Chorus)
Oh, Opal, sweet Opal, where did you go?
From the light of the angels to the shadows below.
With a smile to hide your sorrow, and a heart filled with pain,
You rode through the desert, alone in the rain.
(Verse 2)
One night by the falls, where the secrets are kept,
Her lover’s betrayal, while Opal, she slept.
He took all she cherished, and left her for dead,
In the cold of the night, with a wound that bled.
She lay there in silence, with tears in her eyes,
The stars they bore witness, to her painful goodbyes.
But Opal she rose, from the riverbed's edge,
With vengeance in her heart, and a solemn pledge.
(Chorus)
Oh, Opal, sweet Opal, where did you go?
From the light of the angels to the shadows below.
With a smile to hide your sorrow, and a heart filled with pain,
You rode through the desert, alone in the rain.
(Bridge)
In the town of Valentine, she made her name known,
With a gun on her hip, and a heart turned to stone.
She robbed and she pillaged, she became the feared,
But her smile never wavered, though her soul disappeared.
In the sands of Armadillo, under a scorching sun,
She hunted for justice, till her days were done.
Through Saint Denis alleys, and Annesburg mines,
Her legend it grew, with the passing of time.
(Chorus)
Oh, Opal, sweet Opal, where did you go?
From the light of the angels to the shadows below.
With a smile to hide your sorrow, and a heart filled with pain,
You rode through the desert, alone in the rain.
(Verse 3)
In the depths of Blackwater, by the docks in the night,
Opal stood tall, under lanterns' dim light.
Her eyes cold as winter, but her lips wore a grin,
For beneath the façade, was the turmoil within.
Her lover she found, by the waterfall's crest,
With a pistol in hand, she laid him to rest.
But vengeance it faltered, it did not ease the ache,
For the love that she lost, for the trust that did break.
(Chorus)
Oh, Opal, sweet Opal, where did you go?
From the light of the angels to the shadows below.
With a smile to hide your sorrow, and a heart filled with pain,
You rode through the desert, alone in the rain.
(Outro)
Now legends are told, in the saloons at night,
Of Opal, the outlaw, and her sorrowful fight.
Her name carved in history, in the wild Western lore,
A girl once so pure, now forever more.
Oh, Opal, sweet Opal, your story's been spun,
From the shadows you came, to the setting sun.
With a smile to hide your sorrow, and a heart filled with pain,
You rode through the desert, alone in the rain.
