Star Crossed Lovers

Holding on in a little wood shack 
Their memories will always remain
Knowing somehow forever is not to be
Warm moments dull the pain
He said, Are we star-crossed lovers? 
She said, No don’t talk that way
He said, Are we star-crossed lovers? 
She said, No don’t talk that way.

Leaving leaves all behind
Or so it was supposed to be
But no one knew what was to come
As they prepared to flee
She said, Are we star-crossed lovers?
He said, No don’t talk that way.
She said, Are we star-crossed lovers?
He said, No don’t talk that way.

When all the sky began to fall 
And the ground began to crack
The moment came to say goodbye
And remember that little wood shack
He said, Are we star-crossed lovers?
She said, No don’t talk that way
He said, Are we star-crossed lovers? 
She said, No don’t talk that way.
