| The other day I thought I saw you
|
| Getting in a cab on Halston Street
|
| There ain’t much good in this dirty neighborhood
|
| Unless you’re looking for me, aw but you’re not looking for me
|
| Those were the darkest days and clearest nights
|
| Jet black and angel white
|
| Eagles on the Chrysler building
|
| Look as though they’d like to speak
|
| They’ve seen a lot of sad sad cases
|
| They never even blinked, aw what would they think?
|
| Cause those were the darkest days and clearest nights
|
| Jet black and angel white
|
| Jet black and angel white
|
| And now you’re probably married
|
| To that rich guy — what’s his name?
|
| I had to ask, «Is that for real?»
|
| When I saw the engagement ring
|
| You wore it for protection
|
| To the dive you met me at
|
| I’m glad to see you still so insecure
|
| Cause those were the darkest days and clearest nights
|
| Jet black and angel white
|
| Awww, no shades of gray, no soft twilight
|
| Jet black and angel white |
