The other day I thought I saw you
Getting in a cab on Halston Street
There aint much good in this dirty neighborhood
Unless you're looking for me, aw but you're not looking for me

Those were the darkest days and clearest nights
Jet black and angel white

Eagles on the Chrysler building
Look as though they'd like to speak
They've seen a lot of sad sad cases
They never even blinked, aw what would they think?

Cause those were the darkest days and clearest nights
Jet black and angel white
Jet black and angel white

And now you're probably married
To that rich guy - what's his name?
I had to ask, "Is that for real?"
When I saw the engagement ring

You wore it for protection
To the dive you met me at
I'm glad to see you still so insecure

Cause those were the darkest days and clearest nights
Jet black and angel white

Awww, no shades of gray, no soft twilight
Jet black and angel white
