The Dark End Of The Street

Lyrics

At the dark end of the street

That’s where we’ll always meet

Hiding in shadows where we don’t belong

Living in the darkness to hide our wrong

You and me, at the dark end of the street

I know that time’s gonna take it’s toll

We’ll have to pay for the love that we stole

Though it’s a sin and we know it’s wrong

Still our love keeps coming on strong

Tonight we'll meet at the dark end of the street

They’re going to find us

They’re going to find us

They’re going to find us, Lord, one day

Steal away to the dark end of the street

When the daylight hours roll 'round

And by chance we're both downtown

If you should see me then walk on by

Oh my darling, please don’t cry

Tonight we’ll meet, at the dark end of the street

You and me at the dark end of the street
