Nights were warm

Dreams were easy

No one standing overhead

Conversation didn't mean much

We were hungry but we could not be fed

Radio blasting silly little love songs

We only listened for the beat

Taking our chances

Out there on the mean streets

Hiding in the shadows from the heat

We weren't lovers just brave strangers

As we fought and we tumbled through the night

We were players not arrangers

As we jammed till the dawn's early light

Swimming in the big lake

Taking it easy

Taking any comfort we could find

Didn't need the real truth

Didn't need the meaning

Straight ahead ignoring every sign

Every sign

And oh I remember I know you do too

Oh that one evening

I know you do too

Baby

I know you remember it too

The moon was high

Moon was flying high

We were hiding in the backwoods

Hiding out in the backwoods

With the moon flying high

My hand was shaking

And you took my hand

And it went all right

And it went all right

It went all right

So we walked out hardly speaking

Disappearing in the night

Saw each other a few times after

But we never really got it right

We weren't lovers just brave strangers

As we rolled and we tumbled through the night

We were players not arrangers

And we jammed till the dawn's early light
