he took her to the outskirts
and pledged his love to her
they thought it was their secret
but someone knew where they were

he held her so close
he asked about her dreams
when a bullet from a passing car
made the young girl scream

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
