The Dark End of the Street Lyrics by James Carr

The Complete Goldwax Singles

0

[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 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' on strong
Steal away to the dark end of the street, mm-hmm
[Bridge]
They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us
Lord, someday
You and me at, at the dark end of the street
You and me
[Verse 3]
And when the daylight 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
Mm, mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
