Story Behind The Song
Exactly the same as the song. The video and scene and the goodbye as Au'revoir as the two lover's comfort to each other, knowing that they would probably never meet again.
Song Description
Two lovers reliving the time they spent together and their last time, reluctantly leaving and walking to their cars.
Laying down and talking about their memories together, watching those times coil away from them like smoke from a fire. No regret, just the sadness that comes with not being able to go back and repeat something good and happy.

Lyrics
Verse 1.
I'm gonna lay on a pillow with you,
when the sky falls down on me,
I'll let autumn cover, and winter reveal
all the bare bones of love we can see.
Chorus
I was a girl in the dark skies,
I was a woman with dark eyes,
be a ghost when the night comes to lie.
be a ghost when the night comes to cry,
forever, it's true, when I lay down with you,
I was a girl in the dark night skies.
Verse2.
Who wants to hide or camouflage days
when sighs and tears are our rain,
misting up windows and wash things away,
for they can't be the same way again.
Chorus
I was a girl in the dark skies,
I was a woman with dark eyes,
be a ghost when the night comes to lie.
be a ghost when the night comes to cry,
forever, it's true, when I lay down with you,
I was a girl in the dark night skies.
Verse3.
I'm gonna lay on a pillow with you,
remembering times that have gone,
watch all the moments, like smoke from a fire,
curling away to the sun.
Lay watching sky, till it only shows night
and reluctantly rise, au revoir,
'we're the past', eyes are saying, though lips hesitate
to show me the way to my car.
Chorus
I was a girl in the dark skies,
I was a woman with dark eyes,
be a ghost when the night comes to lie.
be a ghost when the night comes to cry,
forever, it's true, when I lay down with you,
I was a girl in the dark night skies.
I'm gonna lay on a pillow with you,
when the sky falls down on me,
I'll let autumn cover, and winter reveal
all the bare bones of love we can see.
Chorus Fading out near end.
I was a girl in the dark skies,
I was a woman with dark eyes,
be a ghost when the night comes to lie.
be a ghost when the night comes to cry,
forever, it's true, when I lay down with you,
I was a girl in the dark night skies.
