Black&nbsp;night&nbsp;is&nbsp;not&nbsp;right,
I&nbsp;don't&nbsp;feel&nbsp;so&nbsp;bright,

Maybe&nbsp;I'll&nbsp;find&nbsp;on&nbsp;the&nbsp;way&nbsp;down&nbsp;the&nbsp;line

I&nbsp;don't&nbsp;need&nbsp;a&nbsp;dark&nbsp;tree,
I&nbsp;don't&nbsp;want&nbsp;a&nbsp;rough&nbsp;sea,
I&nbsp;can't&nbsp;feel,&nbsp;I&nbsp;can't&nbsp;see.

Black&nbsp;night,&nbsp;black&nbsp;night,
I&nbsp;don't&nbsp;need&nbsp;black&nbsp;night,
I&nbsp;can't&nbsp;see&nbsp;dark&nbsp;night.
Maybe&nbsp;I'll&nbsp;find&nbsp;on&nbsp;the&nbsp;way&nbsp;down&nbsp;the&nbsp;line
