Blackness of the Night Lyrics by Bill Callahan, Bonnie “Prince” Billy

Blind Date Party

2020

In the blackness of the night
I seem to wander endlessly with a hope burning out deep inside
I'm a fugitive, community has driven me out
For this bad, bad world, I'm beginning to doubt
I'm alone and there is no one by my side
In the blackness of the night
I see a shadow passing by from the heels of an old soldier boy
There's no compromising and his eyes are black as the sky
For this bad, bad world, he is going to die
He's alone and there is no one by his side
In the blackness of the night
I see a sparkle of a star from the sweet silver tеar of a child
And she's clutching at a photograph of long, long ago
When her parеnts were happy, she was too young to know
She's alone and there is no one by her side
In the blackness of the night
I seem to wander endlessly with a hope burning out deep inside
I'm a fugitive, community has driven me out
For this bad, bad world, I'm beginning to doubt
I'm alone and there is no one by my side
