Dan, My Fling Lyrics
(Jacob Brackman/Fred Gardner)I said that I felt jailed upAs if our doors were nailed upI said I needed separate places,Parties, room to move around in.I said I needed my flingHad to get out and do some other thing.It took me months to calculateThat I had nothing left without you-(Chorus)Dan, my fling is all flung outNow I've got to fall back on dreamsI thought I'd try and write youI thought I'd try and phone youI thought I'd try to tell youThat I smell your hair still on my pillowBut you'd just mile to please meYou'd shake your head, you'd tease me -Remind me it was I who first claimedThat we both required freedom(Chorus)I'd dream up schemes to meet you,I'd nonchalantly greet you,I'd ask you up for coffeeAnytime you had an hour open.You say you like my hair long,You ask me if I've written any new songs,You'd laugh, you'd turn and cross the streetAnd leave me dizzy with your laughter -(Chorus)I hear you're leaving this town,You and some girl gonna travel around,You bought a car with foldback seats,you'll camp out by the lakes and forests.I lie alone in our old bed,Your laughter it's echoin' inside my head.I close my eyes, I smell your hairIt's like I haven't slept in years -(Chorus)
Carly Simon Dan, My Fling
