Raising Arizona

Sometimes our nature steps into the wild
Walking against the light into the shade
For it was her who could not bear a child
Politely took a part in what was played
Dying undear to dark decisions made

The past became a man and woman's pain
Into the night a thief took their Elaine
Consuming each with arctic hearts to break
While kissing Arizona in the rain
She wondered; should you give back what you take
