stars fell to the ground when they tore the hotel down   where he and i, he and i used to go   under a moon like electric snow   a decade ago      and it was there i confess that we first had a bed to share   with a view of the runway and the airport road   and we'd ride our bikes to the fence before the lights   and watch the planes come      won't you say, won't you say you're all mine?   we'll be together 'til they call us old timers   and we'll ride our bikes to the fence before the lights   and take off on an airliner      young with a fuel that could burn through any rule   and never mind, never mind what the others said   the man at the desk with the eyes of lead   bloodshot red      winter came and it became less of a game   and more of what couldn't be taught by teachers in school   and we found in love that the world was cruel   and beautiful      won't you say, won't you say you're all mine?   we'll be together 'til they call us old timers   and we'll ride our bikes to the fence before the lights   and take off on an airliner      he went to the lake that summer with his family   and a storm came overhead and struck a tree   and it emptied his mind of everything   everything even me      and when he awoke he was gone, he wasn't there   and they took him where they said he'd get better care   and i would go and visit him there   in the white square      there is a wall that's holding back the past   and all of love's history is behind the glass   there's a place where everything will last   iron cast      won't you say, won't you say you're all mine?   we'll be together 'til they call us old timers   and we'll ride our bikes to the fence before the lights   and take off on an airliner
