If i was the sun
And you were the rain
Then maybe i'd see
Why we can't meet again
If i were born free
And you were in chains
Then i'd understand
All of this hurt and pain
Whoa, ho, oh sweet mercy me
Whoa, ho, oh sweet mercy me
I thought we were two hands working as one
I thought it was love but it had never begun
If you were my pride
And i was your shame
Then maybe i'd remember to forget your name
And if love was a lie
And it hid from the truth
Then i'd understand
Why i'm so lost to you
Whoa, ho, oh sweet mercy me
Whoa, ho, oh sweet mercy me
I thought we were two hands working as one
I thought it was love but it had never begun
If i were a rebel
And you were my cause
Would i still love you with all of your flaws
Yes i am a rebel
And you are my cause
And i still love you
My darling of course
Whoa, ho, oh sweet mercy me
Whoa, ho, oh sweet mercy me
I thought we were two hands working as one
I thought it was love but it had never begun
I thought we were two hands beating in time
Oh tell me when will your love ever be mine
I thought we were two hands working as one
I thought it was love but it had never begun
