Dark Night Lyrics
Hot air hangs like a dead man
From a wide oak tree
People sitting on porches
Thinking how things used to be
Dark Night, it's a dark night
Dark Night, it's a dark night
The neighbourhood was changing
Strangers movin' in
A new boy fell for a local girl
When she made eyes with him
She was young and pretty
No stranger to other men
But who knows we're being locked at night
The old lines drawn again
I thought these things didn't happen anymore
I thought all that blood had been shed long ago
Dark Night, it's a dark night
He took a two-piece outfit
He pledged his love to her
They thought it was their secret
But someone knew where they were
I hear Hell was so close
He asked about her dreams
When a bullet from a passing car
Made the young girl scream
I thought these things didn't happen anymore
I thought all that blood had been shed long ago
Dark Night, it's a dark night
Dark Night, it's a dark night
From a wide oak tree
People sitting on porches
Thinking how things used to be
Dark Night, it's a dark night
Dark Night, it's a dark night
Strangers movin' in
A new boy fell for a local girl
When she made eyes with him
She was young and pretty
No stranger to other men
But who knows we're being locked at night
The old lines drawn again
I thought these things didn't happen anymore
I thought all that blood had been shed long ago
Dark Night, it's a dark night
He pledged his love to her
They thought it was their secret
But someone knew where they were
I hear Hell was so close
He asked about her dreams
When a bullet from a passing car
Made the young girl scream
I thought all that blood had been shed long ago
Dark Night, it's a dark night
Dark Night, it's a dark night
