The third of Lindsey Buckingham’s contributions to Tango, the album’s title track continues to elaborate on the theme of primal, sexual, passionate love which is present in Buckingham’s work on the album up to this point.
[Verse 1]
Listen to the wind on the water
Listen to the waves upon the shore
Try to sleep, sleep won't come
Just as I begin to fade
[Chorus]
Then I remember
When the moon was full and bright
I would take you in the darkness
And do the tango in the night
Tango
[Verse 2]
I keep the dream in my pocket
Never let it fade away
Inside, outside
No loneliness in this dream
[Chorus]
Then I remember
When the moon was full and bright
I would take you in the darkness
And do the tango in the night
Tango
