Our Last Night

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

And wasn't it you who told me:

Angels fly in the air tonight

Saying wasn't it just like swimming out on the lake?

And 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 gonna be a doctor, movie star

A poet at a Nobel seminar

I hope the world never tore that out of you

Cause wasn't it you who told me the sun would always chase the day

Yeah wasn't it you who told me:

Angels fly in the air tonight

Saying wasn't it just like swimming out on the lake?

And stars collide and the air's alive

Or was it just like those promises that you made

On our last night?

And what ever happened to the things you loved

And the songs we played, and the indian days

Whatever 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 window pane

Angels fly in the air tonight

and wasn't it just like swimming out on the lake?

oh oh yeah

And stars collide and the air's alive

Or was it just like those promises that you made

On our last night?

on our last night

oh oh oh oh oh
