As the sun rises it soon compromises the safety of night
|
And two travelers in spite of themselves
|
Have to push on
|
|
Mornings remind them of things left behind them
|
One a good wife and the other a life with no name
|
So they push on
|
|
Over the hills and the plains they ride
|
Sharing the unwritten law they abide
|
Two uncharted hearts in the silence of their own flight
|
|
The journey they measure in danger and pleasure
|
One likes to bluff and the other is tough on the girls
|
Still they push on
|
|
Roll the bones
|
Devil-may-care
|
No questions asked
|
Barely friends
|
Two solitaires
|
Needing each other out there
|
|
They build a good fire before they retire
|
Searching the flame for a moment of blameless repose
|
A way to push on
|
Lessons come hard on this brave terrain
|
They may run free but they're still in the rain
|
Two uncharted hearts in the silence of their own flight
|
