Island of Darkness

She laid on the ground
watching him stand over her
He stood, not moving
She didn't know what to say or do
just wanted to take him in her arms
tell him it was okay
But he turned and
galloped away into the sunset
And she saw

Her knight in shining armor
galloping away
A knight in shining armor
galloping away
He left her there,
not rescueing her,
not turning back
Her knight in shining armor

He stood over her
as she laid on the ground
He didn't know what to say or do
couldn't say "I'm sorry, gal Sorry I did it"
He turned away
in shame and regret
He galloped away 
into the sunset
And she saw

Her knight in shining armor 
galloping away
A knight in shining armor
galloping away
he left her there,
not rescueing her,
not turning back
Her knight in shining armor

Years passed by
He got a new lover
She stayed single
waiting for her knight in shining armor
They moved away from each other
pretending not care about the other
But when she heard about his lover
she looked into the sunset
And she saw

Her knight in shining armor
galloping away
A knight in shining armor
galloping away
He left her there,
not rescueing her,
not turning back
Her knight in shining armor
left her stranded on 
the Island of Darkness
