It was a wonderful night 
And the stars shone bright in the evening 
And the silence scouted 
You could hear the cats and dogs are breathing 

I was out to see a friend for a few 
It didn't occur to me 
The unknown frightening truth 

All the lights are off from the houses 
Nobody at home tonight 
Everybody's gone out dancing 
Some will get an early night 

I check my phone for changes 
And make sure I'm not late 
I'm still on time 
Down town for a date
