Black night is not right,
I don''t feel so bright,
I don''t care to sit tight.
Maybe I''ll find on the way down the line
that I''m free, free to be me.
Black night is a long way from home.


I don''t need a dark tree,
I don''t want a rough sea,
I can''t feel, I can''t see.
Maybe I''ll find on the way down the line
that I''m free, free to be me.
Black night is a long way from home.


Black night, black night,
I don''t need black night,
I can''t see dark night.
Maybe I''ll find on the way down the line
that I''m free, free to be me.
Black night is a long way from home.
