Day and Night - The Jim Carroll Band

Day and night.

.. the shadows move too slowly

From dark to light she promised she could know me Remember when.

.. i watched her on the stairway

She was drinkin’wine.

.. and she told me what the

Stars

Say.

..

Some destinies, they should not be delivered.

..

But in her eyes i saw a thousand reasons

Day and night

I feel her skin.

.. it’s thin and white as pressed milk

I closed my eyes and she vanished just like burnt silk

And what remains was like some fallen thunder

And my lips were chained;

they were filled with empty wonder

But the stars tell lies, it blinds the only warning

And when darkness dies, there’s nothing left but morning.

..

Just day and night

Day and night.

.. the shadows start to scatter

When touched by light.

.. each promise made is shattered

And even when the question find the answer

But even then, they’re something like a dancer

But even then, they’re something like a dancer

Like day and night.

.. dark to light

I move from day to night
