Day & Night Lyrics - Singles - Jim Carroll

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
