Angels fly in the air tonight, saying
When the car pulled up for you
On our last night?
And stars collide and the air's alive
Like Harold and Maude singin'
The sun would always chase the day
And stars collide and the air's alive
In a dusty window pane
And I could have spent a life with you
You were calling my name
Angels fly in the air tonight, saying
And stars collide and the air's alive
Then than I think you ever knew
You were holding my hand
I remember waking up with you
You meant more to me
The sunlight was falling
Or was it just like those promises that you made
Whatever happened to the things you gave away?
Or was it just like those promises that you made
You were writing backwards
Angels fly in the air tonight, saying
But those days were over
On our last night? On our last night
I was waving as you drove away
“Wasn't it just like swimming out on the lake?”
A poet at a Nobel seminar
'Cause wasn't it you who told me?
And wasn't it you who told me?
I hope the world never tore that out of you
Yeah, wasn't it you who told me?
But you were gonna be a doctor, movie star
And wasn't it you who told me?
And what ever happened to the things you loved
When your face faded from view
Like Harold and Maude singin'
And the songs we played, and the Indian days
“Wasn't it just like swimming out on the lake?”
Or was it just like those promises that you made
The days doing nothing
“Wasn't it just like swimming out on the lake?”
The sun would always chase the day
