American Lovers

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 to 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
 Under the covers
 American lovers
 Come hold me fast
 Tell me this isn't fading
 I feel it close
 And I still like the waiting
 I passed you by
 Without even thinking
 I'd take your picture
 As if I weren't 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
 Under the covers
 American lovers
 On playgrounds at night
 The streetlights shining bright
 There's nowhere left to hide
 Under the covers
 American lovers
 Under the covers
 American lovers
 Under the covers
 American lovers
 Under the covers
 American lovers
