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 for 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
but i still like the waiting
I pass you by without even thinking
I take your picture as if I were 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 streetlight shining bright
There's nowhere left to hide
Under the covers, American lovers...
