Day and Night

Jim Carroll Band
 Catholic Boy
 Day And Night
 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
