She met him down at the laundromat

Three a.m. on a washing machine

They say, and talked till dawn

He bought her breakfast at a small cafe

The morning turned into the rest of the day

When the day was gone

He thought that she'd surely run away

No fairytale ever started this way but

Chorus

It aint the mind that calls the shots round here

When stronger powers pull two bodies near

Nothing on earth can interfere

When love is what the heart wants

They made a wish on the evening star

From a roof top high above the boulevard

Up in the twilight sky

He held her hand as she held her breath

Two lonely hearts beating scared to death

Of a chance to fly

Giving in to the arms of fate

This isn't quite like the plans that they made but

Chorus
