We were standing in an empty room.
|
The moonlight was falling.
|
You were holding my hand when the car
|
Pulled up for you.
|
And I could have spent a life with you,
|
But those days were over.
|
You were calling my name when
|
Your face faded from view.
|
|
And wasn't it you who told me
|
The sun would always chase the day?
|
Wasn't it you who told me?
|
|
Angels fly in the air tonight.
|
Saying, Wasn't it just like swimming
|
Out on the lake?
|
Stars collide, and the air's alive.
|
Or was it just like those promises that you made
|
On our last night?
|
|
I remember waking up with you.
|
The days doing nothing,
|
You meant more to me then
|
Than I think you ever knew.
|
But you were going to be a doctor,
|
A movie star, a poet at a Nobel seminar,
|
I hope the world never tore that out of you.
|
|
And wasn't it you who told me
|
The sun would always chase the day?
|
Wasn't it you who told me?
|
|
Angels fly in the air tonight.
|
Saying, Wasn't it just like swimming
|
Out on the lake?
|
Stars collide, and the air's alive.
|
Or was it just like those promises that you made?
|
|
And what ever happened to the things you loved, the songs we played,
|
On the Indian days?
|
What ever happened to the things you gave away,
|
Like 'Harold and Maude' and singing?
|
|
I was waving as you drove away.
|
The sunlight was falling.
|
You were writing backwards
|
In a dusty windowpane.
|
|
Angels fly in the air tonight.
|
Saying, Wasn't it just like swimming
|
Out on the lake?
|
Stars collide, and the air's alive.
|
Or was it just like those promises that you made
|
On our last night?
