Sunrise To Sunset

She was only a young girl
He was barely a man
They were thrown together
Crashed out on the sand
And he said
"Come with me and I'll show you how to live"
And she said
"Maybe some day I'll be able to forgive"

She was newly a widow
He was famously brave
He was the cause of bereavement
She was newly a slave
And he said
"Hear my words, you'll be glad of this some day"
And she thought
"Play it cool, or get lost along the way"

This tale goes on and on
From sunrise to sunset
Who knows what's going on
Could they be lovers
I don't know

They were living together
They were sharing a home
Never living as equals
Always feeling alone
And he said
"Know your place, just like I know mine"
And she thought
"Wanting more shouldn't be a crime"

It's the stuff of a legend
How she lead him astray
How he fought with his leader
How she was taken away
And she said
"What have I done, why did I play along"
And he thought
"Never more will I fight for what is wrong"

This tale goes on and on
From sunrise to sunset
Who knows what's going on
Could they be lovers
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know

And the separation hurts
And she's only feeling worse
Because she wished for this for so long
And now it's here she wants to press rewind
Sometimes it's strange
When circumstances change
You'll find the things you wished would end
Can be the things you most defend

He returned undefeated
He was never the same
It took her so long to realise
They were playing a game
And he said
"You must go, you cannot be with me"
And she said
"Cut my chains, but never set me free"

This tale goes on and on
From sunrise to sunset
They knew it all along
Were they ever lovers
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
