Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
I know time is gonna take it's toll
We have to pay for the love we stole
It's a sin and we know it's wrong
Oh, but our love keeps coming on strong
Steal away
To the dark end of the street
[Verse 3]
They gonna find us, they gonna find us
They gonna find us, oh, someday
You and me
[Verse 4]
At the dark end of the street
You and me
[Verse 5]
And when the daylight's hour rolls around
And by chance we're both downtown
If we should meet just walk on by
Oh, darling please don't cry
Tonight we'll meet, at the dark end of the street
Mmm
