Lyrics

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

The neighbourhood 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

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 her to the outskirts

He pledged his love to her

They thought it was their secret

But someone knew where they were

He held her so close

He asked her about her dreams

When a bullet from a passing car

Made the young girl screamed

I thought these things

Didn’t happen anymore

I thought all the blood

Had been shed long ago

Dark night, it’s a dark night

Dark night, it’s a dark night
