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 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 windows were being locked at night Old lines were 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 And 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 Dark night It's a dark night
