Dark Night Lyrics by The Blasters

Hard Line

0

[Verse 1]
Hot air hangs like a dead man
From a white oak tree
People sitting on porches
Thinking how things used to be

[Refrain]
Dark night, it's a dark night
Dark night, it's a dark night

[Verse 2]
The neighborhood was changing
Strangers moving in
A new boy fell for a local girl
When she made eyes at him

[Verse 3]
She was young and pretty
No stranger to other men
Open doors were being locked at night
And old lines drawn again

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 4]
He took her to the outskirts
He pledged his love to her
They thought it was their secret
But someone knew where they were

[Verse 5]
He held her so close
He asked about her dreams
When a bullet from a passing car
Made the young girl scream

[Chorus]
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
