Bruised by the city, bewildered, betrayed
With a heart heavy laden with faltering strides
I have come to the bridge, to the line that divides
What am I doing up here in a daze
As I gaze at the cold river bed
Why do I ask myself, "Shall I go back
When I seem to be going ahead"
To black moonlight
Where everything reflects your color
Darkness that is endless
Nights that leave me friendless blue
Black moonlight
You make the lights of Harlem duller
Just like me you're faded
Jaded and degraded too
Why must you send
Ebony moonbeams, depressing, distressing
Like shadows of love
That are gone?
Where will it end?
Will it spread on to the starlight, the sunlight
And darken each
Promise of dawn?
Black moonlight
I've lost all power to resist you
Madly, I await you, even though I hate you
Black, black moonlight
Lost in the shuffle, I've drifted an' strayed Bruised by the city, bewildered, betrayed With a heart heavy laden with faltering strides I have come to the bridge, to the line that divides What am I doing up here in a daze As I gaze at the cold river bed Why do I ask myself, "Shall I go back When I seem to be going ahead" To black moonlight Where everything reflects your color Darkness that is endless Nights that leave me friendless blue Black moonlight You make the lights of Harlem duller Just like me you're faded Jaded and degraded too Why must you send Ebony moonbeams, depressing, distressing Like shadows of love That are gone? Where will it end? Will it spread on to the starlight, the sunlight And darken each Promise of dawn? Black moonlight I've lost all power to resist you Madly, I await you, even though I hate you Black, black moonlight Explain Request ×
