Carly Simon - Film Noir songtekst
Je score:
(j. webb/c.simon) Got on in new haven Last car on the train. Put my hat on the seat Wipe the tears from my eyes. I watched my life go by Like a movie in my brain. Scenes unreeling; In a sceneless chain On the window And a silver screen of rain! And the opening title scroll And the score comes in and under. And I'm in the starring role In a world of love-struck wonder; It's a tale full of promiseabout two crazy kids; Falling in lovebut in flashback. And then the music That gorgeous music; And I wake up Rattling down the railroad track. He could be sweet But I stayed on my guard. Just how good a liar Can a decent man be? I always played my hand Like I didn't have the cards. Cause he held them all So I could never see. Yeshe played me for a fool And I agreed. And the closing credits roll And the waves come in like thunder. Cause the hero's lost control And I made a fatal blunder. Just another sad story; Two star-crossed kids Racing headlong up a cul-de-sac. And then that music That mournful music. And the train's disappearing Down that railroad track. And the longslow dissolve As we fade to black.
