Black night Is not right I don't feel So bright I don't care To sit tight Maybe I'll find on the way down the line That I'm free Free to be me Black night is a long way from home I don't need A dark tree I don't want A rough sea I can't feel, I can't see. Maybe I'll find on the way down the line That I'm free, Free to be me. Black night is a long way from home. Black night, Black night I don't need Black night I can't see Dark night. Maybe I'll find on the way down the line That I'm free, Free to be me. Black night is a long way from home.
