I wondered about that sense of 'ride' too, Alan - When she says "just a kiss to make a body smile." it sounds like a bit of an offer. I had sort of decided against it though, thinking it was just me, but either you are just as daft or we may be on to something :-)

I have decided I am pondering too much on it though - I should just enjoy it. I am going to ponder on another song I first heard on the same album - The Scarlet Tide. Can't find the version I know but this is the original as performed by Alison Krauss for the film 'Cold Mountain' ((whicjh I remember being desperately miserable but I could be wrong)

Maybe I should have called the thread 'songs I don't understand' but it would have gone on too long...
