6
In Lincoln Park the dark was turning
7
I spied a fair young maiden and a flame was in her eyes
8
And on her face lay the steel blue skies
9
Of Lincoln Park, the dark was turning
10
Turning
11
They spread their sheets upon the ground just like a wandering tribe
12
And the wise men walked in their Robespierre robes
13
Through Lincoln Park the dark was turning
14
The towers trapped and trembling, and the boats were tossed about
15
When the fog rolled in and the gas rolled out
16
From Lincoln Park the dark was turning
17
Turning
18
Like wild horses freed at last we took the streets of wine
19
But I searched in vain for she stayed behind
20
In Lincoln Park the dark was turning
21
I'll go back to the city where I can be alone
22
And tell my friend she lies in stone
23
In Lincoln Park the dark was turning
