It was a dark night
In a big city
She thought she heard a voice close behind
(Say what you scared of baby)
I think that she heard it
I think it was plain
Or was it just a dark night
Waiting for the last train
cnd 'though you love life so much
cnd you want to go with the touch
It's a dark night
cnd there ain't no time for pity

He was a white knight
Sitting real pretty
Had kind of a real sharp cut to his tie
(What you scared of baby)
I think that you heard it
I think it was plain
Or was it just a dark night
Waiting for the last train
cnd 'though you love life so much
cnd we all need a crutch
It's just a dark night
cnd there ain't no time for pity

Now the last act
Isn't very pretty
Just the usual round of love and truth and pain
(Say what you scared of baby)
I think that you heard it
I think it was plain
cnd 'though you love life so much
cnd you want to go with the touch
It's just a dark night
