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 alrightWell, I know it's cold and I know it's late
But our life is short, darling, I can't waitFollow 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 tonightWell, I know it's cold and I know it's late
But our life is short, darling, I can't waitWon'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 returnBut the moon always has to start falling
Blankets protect you from the cold before dawn
But they can't protect you from the morning
