Bob Seger Brave Strangers
Nights were warm Dreams were easy No one standing overhead Conversation didn't mean much We were hungry but 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
