Lletres: Better Than Ezra. Before the Robots. Our Last Night.

We were standin' 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

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 singin'
Like Harold and Maude singin'

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, 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? On our last night
On our last night, on our last, on our last
