Come and whisper in my ear Tell me something I should know Shadows of the past will melt with the new snow
Don't slip away Tell me where can we both go Is it too late for escape? I am old and I don't know
In a distant time and place, under moonlight cold and clear With an ever-changing face, I will always meet you here Where the sidewalk leads you home, over rooftops far and near With doors forever closed, I will always meet you here
Under the covers, American lovers...
Come hold me fast Tell me this isn't fading I feel it close but i still like the waiting
I pass you by without even thinking I take your picture as if I were blinking
In another time and place When the wind sings out of fear As the shadows trace your face I will always meet you here
Under the covers, American lovers...
On playgrounds at night, the streetlight shining bright There's nowhere left to hide
