Lyric Darkness Til Dawn

(Carly Simon/Jacob Brackman)

Chain smoking cigarettes
Enemies across the table
Wonderin if I can ever trust anyone again
We argue through the night
the restaurant shuts, you catch your flight
I hail a cab with no idea where home might be

(Chorus)
We both believed my chance was gone
But ain t it strange how life goes on
A storm can never rage forever
And darkness only lasts til dawnHotel blinds stay down
Nothing seems to make me care
I can t find a reason to comb my hair
Folks walkin in the street
Everyone has something to do
My brain won t stop showin those old movies of you

Weeks pass,
And your voice sounds strange on the telephone
Strange how smooth and casual my own voice sounds
I find that I m listening to
A tuen coming over my radio
It makes me think of a guy I knew a while ago
A while ago a while ago
