Songtext "Dark Night"

Strophe 1:

Hot air hangs like a dead man from a white 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

Refrain 1:

I thought these things didn’t matter anymore
I thought all that blood had been shed long ago
Dark night it’s a dark night

Strophe 2:

The neighborhood was changing strangers moving in
A new boy fell for a local girl when she made eyes at him

She was young and pretty no stranger to other men
But windows were being locked at night old lines were drawn again

Refrain 2:

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

Strophe 3:

He took her to the outskirts and pledged his love to her
They thought it was their secret but someone knew where they were

He held her so close he asked about her dreams
When a bullet from a passing car made the young girl scream
