Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lost in the shuffle, I've drifted and 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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Black moonlight
Where everything reflects your color
Darkness that is endless
Nights that leave me friendless, blue
[Verse 4]
Black moonlight
You make the lights of Harlem duller
Just like me, you're faded
Jaded and degraded, too
[Verse 5]
Why must you send
Ebony moonbeams?
Depressing, distressing
Like shadows of loves that are gone
[Verse 6]
Where will it end?
Will it spread on
To the starlight, the sunlight
And darken each promise of dawn?
[Verse 7]
Black moonlight
I've lost all power to resist you
Madly, I await you, even though I hate you
Black moonlight
[Verse 8]
Oh, black moonlight
I've lost all power to resist you
Madly, I await you, even though I hate you
Black moonlight
