Our Last Night

You were writing backwards

The sun would always chase the day
Or was it just like those promises that you made
And the songs we played, and the Indian days
�Wasn't it just like swimming out on the lake?�
The sun would always chase the day
Yeah, wasn't it you who told me?

And stars collide and the air's alive
I hope the world never tore that out of you

And stars collide and the air's alive
'Cause wasn't it you who told me?

You meant more to me
Angels fly in the air tonight, saying
And stars collide and the air's alive
When your face faded from view
Then than I think you ever knew
On our last night?

And wasn't it you who told me?
The days doing nothing
I remember waking up with you

And what ever happened to the things you loved
But you were gonna be a doctor, movie star
Or was it just like those promises that you made
Whatever happened to the things you gave away?
And wasn't it you who told me?
�Wasn't it just like swimming out on the lake?�
On our last night? On our last night
Like Harold and Maude singin'
I was waving as you drove away
Angels fly in the air tonight, saying
A poet at a Nobel seminar
When the car pulled up for you
And I could have spent a life with you
Like Harold and Maude singin'
�Wasn't it just like swimming out on the lake?�
Angels fly in the air tonight, saying
In a dusty window pane
The sunlight was falling
You were holding my hand

Or was it just like those promises that you made
You were calling my name
But those days were over
