| 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 colour |
| 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! |
