Dan, My Fling (2023 Remaster)

I said that I felt jailed up

As if our doors were nailed up

I said I needed separate places

Parties, room to move around in

I said I needed my fling

Had to get out and do some other thing

It took me months to calculate

That I had nothing left without you

Damn, my fling is all flung out

Now I've got to fall back on dreams

I thought I'd try to write you

I thought I'd try to phone you

I thought I'd try to tell you

That I smell your hair still on my pillow

But you'd just smile to please me

Well, you'd shake your head and you'd tease me

Remind me it was I who first claimed

That we both required freedom

Damn, my fling is all flung out

Now I've got to fall back on dreams

I'd dream up schemes to meet you

I'd nonchalantly greet you

I'd ask you up for coffee

Anytime you had an hour open

You'd say you like my hair long

You'd ask me if I've written any new songs

You'd laugh, you'd turn and cross the street

And leave me dizzy with your laughter

Damn, my fling is all flung out

Now I've got to fall back on dreams

Hear you're leaving this town

You and some girl are gonna travel around

You bought a car with foldback seats

You'll camp out by the lakes and forests

And I lie alone in our old bed

Your laughter, it's echoing inside my head

I close my eyes, I smell your hair

It's like I haven't slept in years

Damn, my fling is all flung out

Now I've got to fall back on dreams

Dreams of you
