Darkness and Cold

The light of my life is going out tonight

As the sun sinks in the west

The light of my life is going out tonight

With someone she just met

She kept it burning longer than I had right to expect

The light of my life is going out tonight

Without a flicker of regret

Darkness and cold, darkness and cold

Rolled in through the holes in the stories I told

Conditions I'm wishing weren't taking control

Darkness and cold, darkness and cold

The light of my life is going out tonight

And she don't look too depressed

The light of my life is going out tonight

In a pink champagne Corvette

I sleep three feet above the street

In a band-aid pink Chevette

The light of my life is going out tonight

Without a flicker of regret

Darkness and cold, darkness and cold

Rolled in through the holes in the stories I told

Conditions I'm wishing weren't taking control

Darkness and cold, darkness and cold

Darkness and cold, darkness and cold

Patiently encroaching on the animal

The weather of forever retaking control

Darkness and cold, darkness and cold

Darkness and cold, darkness and cold

Rolled in through the holes in the stories I told

Conditions I'm wishing weren't taking control

Darkness and cold, darkness and cold

Darkness and cold, darkness and cold
