Brave Strangers

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
And 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, yeah
Yeah, and the moon was high
The moon was flying high
We were hiding in the backwoods
Hiding out in the backwoods with the
Moon flying high

And my hand was a-shaking
My hand was a-shaking
And you took my hand
You took my hand
And it went alright
It went alright
It went alright, baby, baby, baby
It went alright, it went alright

Alright
Alright
Oh

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 'til the dawn's early light
Early light

We weren't lovers (just brave strangers)
Just brave strangers (just brave strangers)
We weren't lovers (just brave strangers)
Just brave strangers (just brave strangers)
Whoa-whoa (just brave strangers)
Whoa-oh-oh (just brave strangers)
Whoa-whoa (just brave strangers)
Whoa-oh-oh (just brave strangers)
Whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa
Whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa, yeah
