A bitter wind blew on that God forsaken day
Verse
A broken Holy man knelt weeping on her grave
She was his secret love but she never knew
And when he buried her he buried the secret too
He saw them take her life with a cold steel sword
That's why the Holy man took revenge on the conquistadors

Chorus
They say he buried more than love in Santa Fe
Legend tells of how he said goodbye
He left his secret and she keeps it still today
That's why the mountains cry
In Santa Fe

Verse
He followed them until they stopped for the night
And waited patiently until the time was right
But his Holy vows kept them from dying in their sleep
Instead he took their gold and laid a cross at their feet
When they awoke their only love was gone
And now the mountains hold a bed of gold
The secret that she lays upon

Chorus
They say he buried more than love in Santa Fe
Legend tells of how he said goodbye
He left his secret and she keeps it still today
That's why the mountains cry
In Santa Fe

Chorus
Well they say he buried more than love in Santa Fe
Legend tells of how he said goodbye
He left his secret and she keeps it still today
That's why the mountains cry
In Santa Fe
