I remember
those sultry July nights
you’d pick me up
on the back of your motorbike
we’d steal away
into the dark of night
I’d wear that red dress
that I know you like
The smell of your sweat
mixed with motor oil
it was enough to make
my blood boil
I try to keep my nose clean
try to take less than I give
but trouble always seems
to figure out where I live
Baby you’re a quiet calm
he’s a distant thunder
you’re a slow train coming
he’s a wild wonder
how many lives can you make
when your days are numbered
how many hearts do you break
if you’re a wild wonder
You caught me at a crossroad
with nothing but gas to burn
I rode all the way through morning
still didn’t know which way to turn
if I left right now
I wouldn’t need a map
there ain’t a thing in this world
can help you lose your past
Baby you’re a quiet calm
he’s a distant thunder
you’re a slow train coming
he’s a wild wonder
how many lives can you make
when your days are numbered
how many hearts do you break
if you’re a wild wonder
Baby you’re a quiet calm
he’s a rolling thunder
you’re a slow train coming
I’m a wild wonder
how many lives can you make
when your days are numbered
how many hearts do you break
if you’re a wild wonder
