If I was the sun
And you were the rain
Then maybe I'd see
Why we can't meet againIf I were born free
And you were in chains
Then I'd understand
All of this hurt and painWhoa, 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 begunIf you were my pride
And I was your shame
Then maybe I'd remember
To forget your nameAnd if love was a lie
And it hid from the truth
Then I'd understand
Why I'm so lost to youWhoa, 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 begunIf I were a rebel
And you were my cause
Would I still love youYes I am a rebel
And you are my cause
And I still love you
My darling of courseWhoa, 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 begunI 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
