Two stars fell out of the sky
Bounced off a cloud and landed in your eye
Now there's two stars right here in my arms tonight
Two cars went speeding by
A hair too fast to catch the rapture of a dragonfly
Now those two cars are parked outside bars tonight
You've got a Turkish umbrella over your head and a faded lover in your bed
And a fleeting immortality balanced on the tip of your toe
Spent about eleven hours making love last night, this morning someone turned the flowers up a bit too bright
Yes, the world is grinning, my head is spinning, and my feet can't take me where they want me to go
Two stars fell out of the sky
It always hurts to watch a good thing die
Well now those two stars are safe behind bars
Right here in my arms tonight
You've got a faded umbrella over your head and a Turkish lover in your bed
And a fleeting immortality balanced on the tip of your toe
Spent about thirty-seven hours making love last night, this morning someone turned the flowers up a bit too bright
Yes, the world is spinning, my head is grinning, and my feet can't take me where they want me to go
Two stars fell out of the sky
Rolled the dough, chopped the apples, started baking a pie
Now those two stars are in mason jars, I said those two stars are lighting cigars
Those two stars are just where they are, right here in my arms tonight
