"The Dark End Of The Street" lyrics
(originally by James Carr)
At the dark end of the street
That's where we always meet
Hiding in shadows where we don't belong
Living in darkness to hide our wrong
You and me at the dark end of the street
You and me
I know time is gonna take its toll
We have to pay for the love that we stole
It's a sin, and we know it's wrong
Oh, but our love keeps comin' strong
Steal away to the dark end of the street
They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us
There someday
You and me at, at the dark end of the street
You and me
You and me
They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us
There someday
You and me at, at the dark end of the street
You and me
You and me
When the daylight hour rolls around
And by chance we're both downtown
If we should meet, just walk on by
Oh darling, please, please don't cry
Tonight we'll meet at the dark end of the street
At the dark end of the street
Just walk on by
Please don't cry
Walk on down the street
That's where we always meet
Hiding in shadows where we don't belong
Living in darkness to hide our wrong
You and me at the dark end of the street
You and me
I know time is gonna take its toll
We have to pay for the love that we stole
It's a sin, and we know it's wrong
Oh, but our love keeps comin' strong
Steal away to the dark end of the street
They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us
There someday
You and me at, at the dark end of the street
You and me
You and me
They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us
There someday
You and me at, at the dark end of the street
You and me
You and me
When the daylight hour rolls around
And by chance we're both downtown
If we should meet, just walk on by
Oh darling, please, please don't cry
Tonight we'll meet at the dark end of the street
At the dark end of the street
Just walk on by
Please don't cry
Walk on down the street
