Dark Night

Bangles

Harley? hangs like a dead man


From a white oak tree


There's people sittin' on porches


Thinkin' how things used to be





Dark night... it's a dark night


Dark night... it's a dark night





The neighborhood was changin', strangers movin' in


A new boy fell for another girl when she made eyes at him


She was young and pretty, no stranger to other men


But who knows what being ____ at night the old line's drawn again





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





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 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
