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
And 'though you love life so much
And you want to go with the touch
It's a dark night
And 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
And 'though you love life so much
And we all need a crutch
It's just a dark night
And 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
And 'though you love life so much
And you want to go with the touch
It's just a dark night
