The dust that hung from the dead skies, oh I know you're wrong
It still burned our eyes

Oh yes we may walk on the wild wild side of life
And the movement's traced by a stranger close by your side
And in the shadows of a promise you can take my hand
And show me a way to understand

 Chorus:
So if you think you know how to love me, and you think you know what I need
And if you really, really want me to stay, you got to lead the way
Yes, if you think you know how to love me, and you think you can stand by me
And if you really, really want me to stay, you got to lead the way

A reckless night in a nameless town
Then we moved outta sight with a silent sound
The beach that wept with deserted waves, that's where we slept
Knowing we'd be safe

Now you may think you can walk on the wild wild side with me
But there's a lot I can learn and a lot that I've yet to see
You know you got my life lyin' in your hands
It's up to you to make me understand
