Paroles de Dark Night

Hot air hangs like a dead man
From a white oak tree
People sitting on porches
Thinking how things used to be
Dark night
Dark night

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 doors were being locked at night
Old lines were drawn again

CHORUS
I thought things like that
Didn't matter anymore
I thought all the blood
Had been shed long ago
Dark night
Dark night

He took her to the outskirts He held her so close
He asked about her dreams
There was a shot from a passing car
And the young girl screamed

CHORUS
