Uncharted Hearts

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 pains 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 peasure

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
