Play me a melody on the wild reed
Wherever we're going I'm gonna follow your lead
Out of the shallows and into the deep
The only poetry I know is you talking in your sleep
Take me away down every winding road
I'll carry the weight and shoulder the load
The morning is ours with stones under our feet
Walking with you through the sounds of the street
Where we began has faded far out of sight
I'm placing a wager on the heat of the night
Keep what you've got but don't bet it will last
Going all over the town unsung and unmasked
Riding through the burning brush on a line
Don't know what we'll see don't know what we'll find
Deep in the heart it's just too hard to beat
Walking with you through the sounds of the street
Play me a melody on the wild reed
Wherever we're going I'm gonna follow your lead
