[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Black night is not right
I don't feel so bright
I don't care to sit tight
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
I don't need a dark tree
I don't want a rough sea
I can't feel, I can't see
[Chorus]
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
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Black night, black night
I don't need black night
I can't see dark light
[Chorus]
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
[Guitar Solo/Outro]
