Dan, My Fling (2023 Remaster) - Carly Simon

Lyrics by：Fred Gardner/Jacob Brackman

Produced by：Eddie Kramer

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 yo

Dan my fling is all flung out

Now I've got to fall back on dreams

I thought I'd try and write you

I thought I'd try and phone you

I thought I'd try to tell you

That I smell your hair still on my pillow

But you'd just mile to please me

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

Remind me it was I who first claimed

That we both required freedom

Dan 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 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 street

And leave me dizzy with your laughter

Dan my fling is all flung out

Now I've got to fall back on dreams

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 hair

It's like I haven't slept in years

Dan my fling is all flung out

Now I've got to fall back on dreams

Dreams

If you
