Bangles Dark Night Lyrics

Dark Night Lyrics

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
