The song was allegedly used for The Sisters of Mercy's soundcheck
on November 6th, 1984 at Tivoli, Utrecht, The Netherlands.
Years later this soundcheck surfaced as an instrumental feature on the early Sisters bootleg The Grief.
Lyrics
Black night is not right,
I don't care to sit tight.
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.
I don't need a dark tree,
I don't want a rough sea,
I can't feel, I can't see.
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.
Black night, black night,
I don't need black night,
I can't see dark night.
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.
