David BermanAbout
In an interview about this album, David Berman discussed his wife and him drifting apart, and revealed that writing this song was a way of dealing with the painful prospect of her moving on romantically:
I knew that I was gonna have to deal with that some day, with her being with someone else, and...
Darkness and Cold Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The light of my life is going out tonight
As the sun sinks in the west
The light of my life is going out tonight
With someone she just met
She kept it burning longer than I had right to expect
The light of my life is going out tonight
Without a flicker of regret
[Chorus 1]
Darkness and cold, darkness and cold
(Darkness and cold, darkness and cold)
Rolled in through the holes in the stories I told
Conditions I'm wishing weren't taking control
Darkness and cold, darkness and cold
[Verse 2]
The light of my life is going out tonight
And she don't look too depressed
The light of my life is going out tonight
In a pink champagne Corvette
I sleep three feet above the street
In a Band-Aid pink Chevette
The light of my life is going out tonight
Without a flicker of regret
[Chorus 1]
Darkness and cold, darkness and cold
(Darkness and cold, darkness and cold)
Rolled in through the holes in the stories I told
Conditions I'm wishing weren't taking control
Darkness and cold, darkness and cold
[Chorus 2]
Darkness and cold, darkness and cold
(Darkness and cold, darkness and cold)
Patiently encroaching on the animal
The weather of forever retaking control
Darkness and cold, darkness and cold
[Chorus 1]
Darkness and cold, darkness and cold
(Darkness and cold, darkness and cold)
Rolled in through the holes in the stories I told
Conditions I'm wishing weren’t taking control
Darkness and cold, darkness and cold
[Outro]
Darkness and cold, darkness and cold

Vish Khanna: There are many things going on on this album but it strikes me that it’s very much a ‘break-up’ record.
David Berman: Right. Well, Cassie [his wife] and I have been married for 20 years. When I quit music 10 years ago, I really retreated into myself. She went on to get a degree and is...
