The Dark End of the Street

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's gonna take its 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 (Steal away)

To the dark end of the street

Mm-hmm

They're gonna find us

They're gonna find us

They're gonna find us, oh some day

You and me

At the dark end, the dark end of the street

You and me

And when the daylight rolls around

And by chance we're both downtown

If we should meet just walk right on by

Oh darling, please don't cry

Tonight we'll meet (We'll meet)

At the dark end of the street

Mm, mm-mm, mm, mm
