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
