Film Noir Carly Simon (Ft. Jimmy Webb)

(J. Webb/C.Simon)

Got on in New Haven
Last car on the train
Put my hat on the seat
Wipe the tears from my eyes

I watched my life go by
Like a movie in my brain
Scenes unreeling;
In a sceneless chain
On the window
And a silver screen of rain!

And the opening title scroll
And the score comes in and under
And I'm in the starring role
In a world of love-struck wonder;

It's a tale full of promise, about two crazy kids;
Falling in love, but in flashback

And then the music
That gorgeous music;
And I wake up
Rattling down the railroad track
