he bites his tongue
she looks away
he is no fun
she lives today

she is a young girl and he is an old hand with thinning hair
she is a gambler and he is a source
she rides a white horse

we watch them fight
laughing in turn
she's in the light
he'd only burn

she is a young girl and he is an old dog with one eye blind
she is a fighter and he just takes his course
she rides a white horse

he bides his time
she looks for air
he sees her heart
she dances for him slowly
she is a dancer and he has a song he made for her to dance to
but she is a white horse and he is a man
they do the best they can
she is a young girl and he is an old hand with thinning hair (less info)
