Nights were warm 
Dreams were easy 
No one standing overhead 
Conversation didn't mean much 
We were hungry, 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 
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 'til 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, my hand was shaking 
And you took my hand, you took my hand 
And it went all right 
And it went all right 
It went all right 
Baby, alright
And it went alright
It went alright
Alright, alright, alright

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 'tll the dawn's early light, the light

We weren't lovers, just brave strangers 
We weren't lovers, just brave strangers
