People Look Well in the Dark

I managed to find a way to sit for an extended period of time in semi-comfort. Long enough to record this song, at any rate. This is a favorite of mine and should you be a regular reader, you'll recognize that I've posted YouTubes of the original version and my cover version at least once before. Now I decided it was time for a fuller, multitrack recording of same.

This song is dedicated in particular to a painfully shy Friend. As someone who once used to be similarly uncomfortable in social situations, my heart goes out to her.




one, two, three
If you close the door
Leave the sunshine out
and say hello to never

All the people are dancing
and they're having such fun
I wish it could happen to me

But if you close the door
I'd never have to see the day again

If you close the door
the night could last forever
Leave the wine-glass out
and drink a toast to never

Oh, someday I know
someone will look into my eyes
And say hello
you're my very special one

But if you close the door
I'd never have to see the day again

Dark party bars, shiny Cadillac cars
and the people on subways and trains
Looking gray in the rain, as they stand disarrayed
oh, but people look well in the dark

And if you close the door
the night could last forever
Leave the sunshine out
and say hello to never

All the people are dancing
and they're having such fun
I wish it could happen to me

Cause if you close the door
I'd never have to see the day again
I'd never have to see the day again, once more
I'd never have to see the day again
