lirik lagu good ol’ night – erin durant
the crystal chandelier is turned up bright
and the swinging doors will answer “it’s a cold, cold night”
the place i’m from is far away, used to be an old friend
now she’s turning around and showing me the back of her head
take me dancing in the middle of the room
take me dancing like we’ve never been told
the card players are scratching their heads just as i am too
now the places we go aren’t the same without your next move
sometimes i forget that we’re walking a real fine line
then the greatest defeat of all was having to say goodbye
we were living and playing our cards
trying to knock them out of the godd-mn park
they day i went home, it was intensely lonely
sleeping in the car for a night was the way i played it
make sure you’re practiced when you’re aiming in the canyon
the more direct lines remind me of frank o’hara
shuffle and dealing, taking hold of the hand
some cards are slipping out into this lawless land
a poet lost his way, started reading his books upside down
turned around at the corner, no truth in the casino lights to be found
there used to be a story there like a scene from a johnson chapter
now he’s left wondering if they ping to a satellite tower
the city skyline with its buildings on high
make a straight shot to the waterline, a way to get out
driving from reno to the border of california
time p-ssed slowly even while we were still moving fast
the trees wrapped around me like a blanket
and i could care less if i left once we made it to the canyon
oh mamamia, you are my oldest friend
we’ve been through things till the bitter end
please don’t stop talking now and telling your jokes
’cause i need them at this moment
there’s the idea of growing nearer as time marches on
like some say of a d-ckinson poem
with each century getting clearer
but when you write the date at the first of the year
you might make a mistake, then that urge dissipates
and time grows far away
won’t you stay, won’t you stay
this time, won’t you stay and grow closer to me?
sharp like jazz walking down the rocky hillside
the shifting dirt and the notes i heard soothed my mind
it’s a ghost town now but i’m telling you, there used to be something here
i could say it in rhyme a thousand times but it would still disappear
