On a shimmerin' summer night
Saw you for the very first time
Your smilin' face
Was callin' out your innocence
And the band played on
Dancin' in each others arms
You were wild and free
O how I loved you
Yeah, we took off down the highway
And our hearts were filled with joy
For all those years gone by
Our hearts were bound by threads so fine
We drank the wine of sweet inspiration
Tearing up this town again
We drank the wine
Of sweet inspiration
Crossed over rainy lands
Carried by the reckless wind
Our dreams in our hands
We still held the spark
Was it a bird on a wing
Or a million different things
That took us down so many roads
In wonder
When the sunset kissed the mountains
Had your name still on my lips
For all those years gone by
Our hearts were bound by threads so fine
We drank the wine
Of sweet inspiration
Oh strong love
Sweet inspiration
On a shimmerin' summer night
Saw you for the very first time
Your smilin' face
Was callin' out your innocence
And the band played on
Dancin' in each others arms
You were wild and free
O how I loved you
Yeah, we took off down the highway
And our hearts were filled with joy
For all those years gone by
Our hearts were bound by threads so fine
We drank the wine of sweet inspiration
Tearing up this town again
We drank the wine
Of sweet inspiration
Crossed over rainy lands
Carried by the reckless wind
Our dreams in our hands
We still held the spark
Was it a bird on a wing
Or a million different things
That took us down so many roads
In wonder
When the sunset kissed the mountains
Had your name still on my lips
For all those years gone by
Our hearts were bound by threads so fine
We drank the wine
Of sweet inspiration
Oh strong love
Sweet inspiration
On a shimmerin' summer night
Saw you for the very first time
Your smilin' face
Was callin' out your innocence
And the band played on

You were wild and free
O how I loved you

And our hearts were filled with joy

Our hearts were bound by threads so fine
