Carly Simon Darkness 'Til Dawn song lyrics

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

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 dawn

Hotel blinds stay drawn

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

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 dawn

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 tune coming over my radio

It makes me think of a guy I knew a while ago

A while ago a while ago
