1
As I went out one evening to take the evening air
2
I was blessed by a blood-red moon
3
In Lincoln Park the dark was turning
4
I spied a fair young maiden and a flame was in her eyes
5
And on her face lay the steel blue skies
6
Of Lincoln Park, the dark was turning, turning
7
They spread their sheets upon the ground just like a wandering tribe
8
And the wise men walked in their Robespierre robes
9
Through Lincoln Park the dark was turning
10
The towers trapped and trembling and the boats were tossed about
11
When the fog rolled in and the gas rolled out
12
From Lincoln Park the dark was turning
13
Like wild horses freed at last we took the streets of wine
14
But I searched in vain for she stayed behind
15
In Lincoln Park the dark was turning, turning
16
I'll go back to the city where I can be alone
17
And tell my friend she lies in stone
18
In Lincoln Park the dark was turning
