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 may protect you from the cold before dawn
But they can't protect you from the morning
