You'll Accomp'ny Me Lyrics
A gypsy wind is blowing warm tonight
The sky is starlit and the time is right
And still you're telling me you have to go
Before you leave there's something you should know
Yeah something you should know babe
I've seen you smiling in the summer sun
I've seen your long hair flying when you run
I've made my mind up that it's meant to be
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Out where the rivers meet the sounding sea
You're high above me now
You're wild and free ah, but
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Some people say that love's a losing game
You start with fire
But you lose the flame
The ashes smolder
But the warmth's soon gone
You end up cold and lonely on your own
I'll take my chances babe
I'll risk it all
I'll win your love
Or I'll take the fall
I've made my mind up girl
It's meant to be
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
It's written down somewhere
It's got to be
You're high above me
Flying wild and free
Oh but someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Out where the rivers meet the sounding sea
I feel it in my soul
It's meant to be
Oh someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
The sky is starlit and the time is right
And still you're telling me you have to go
Before you leave there's something you should know
Yeah something you should know babe
I've seen your long hair flying when you run
I've made my mind up that it's meant to be
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Out where the rivers meet the sounding sea
You're high above me now
You're wild and free ah, but
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
You start with fire
But you lose the flame
The ashes smolder
But the warmth's soon gone
You end up cold and lonely on your own
I'll take my chances babe
I'll risk it all
I'll win your love
Or I'll take the fall
I've made my mind up girl
It's meant to be
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
It's written down somewhere
It's got to be
You're high above me
Flying wild and free
Oh but someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Out where the rivers meet the sounding sea
I feel it in my soul
It's meant to be
Oh someday lady you'll accomp'ny me

I was a real late bloomer ... a high school geek who never got a date. It was only after high school that I started gaining more confidence and asking girls out. I was looking for the girl of my dreams, and I listened to songs like this over and over again. I eventually found the girl of my dreams ... and we were together 10 years, and then the "warmth was gone." Now I'm listening to songs like this again. Hopefully next time will be for a lifetime!
This song is so about the man who knows that regardless of the obstacles, roadblocks and other distractions that may prove otherwise, someday he and the woman of his dreams will be together because that's how it is supposed to be. And I was crying with laughter about the sister comment from a few years ago. Priceless!!
"I'll take my chances babe, I'll risk it all. I'll win your love or I'll take the fall." Great line delivered with Bob Seger passion. I've had my heart stomped and I've won the girl; haven't we all? That's how we know we're alive! My favorite Seger song.
He has some great ones but this appeals to the ladies too.

I always loved this song, but a couple of years ago my husband passed away. I hadn't listened to it in awhile and I played it the other day. I have a new meaning for the song now, I think it means someday, when the rivers meet the sea, we will be flying wild and free together! I hope so because he was really my "soul mate" and I can't imagine eternity without him.
I'd let Bob Seger come to my house and have sex with my sister because this song is so damn good.
haha, that is funny about your sister.. anyways this song is amazing. It always makes me smile.
Man, why hasn't anyone commented on this song? I always really liked it. I think the lyrics explain themselves... it's a nice song.
i agree. i absolutely adore this song. hopefully the person i want to accompany meee digs it too
My husband played this song to me when we were in high school dating. He was 17 and I was 15. We had one amazing summer together then drifted apart as i was not interested in having a steady boyfriend to spend all my time with. I wanted to enjoy my time with my friends and just be a kid. Long story short 8 yrs later we found our way back to each other and he ask me if I remember this song and then he plays the song. Of course I remember I told him then he said when he played it for me years ago he meant every word of it with all his heart!!!! This song has an invaluable worth to me not only is it beautiful it is also a precious sentiment to my love story.
What the heck is a "sounding sea?" All the lyrics sites state that. Isn't it "sound and sea?" A sound is a small body of water that can connect a sea to another body of water.
@dirty11827 You are correct a “sound” can be a narrow stretch of water. Reading the line as worded it seems to elude to a river meeting a sound or sea.

Sounding can also be the act of “measuring”.

To accompany is to go along with someone on equal terms.

When you put the two lines together, it could be interpreted that the “sounding sea” is referring to the action of measuring the depth of his love.

Or maybe not…
@dirty11827 I still think I am correct, but I accept your viewpoint. :) The first dictionary I consulted didn't even mention water. :) Nor the second. :) Ah, found one. Bob's a Detroit area boy. The Detroit River, which is actually a strait, could be considered a sound, don't you think? Plus, the Puget Sound, in Washington, isn't exactly narrow. Thanks for responding!!!!
