Follow me down to the Starlight Motel

While everyone's sleeping tonight

Don't be afraid, I know what's on your mind

I'm gonna make it alright

Well, I know it's cold and I know it's late

But our life is short, darling, I can't wait

Follow my footsteps and silently step

Out to the road in the moonlight

The stars in the sky are all laid out for us

They'll watch over our love tonight

Well, I know it's cold and I know it's late

But our life is short, darling, I can't wait

Won't you join me for this dance

It may be our only chance

Baby, don't say no tonight

There's times I believe that we'll never return

But the moon always has to start falling

Blankets protect you from the cold before dawn

But they can't protect you from the morning
