The Dark End Of The Street

At the dark end of the street
That is where we always meet
Hiding in shadows where we don't belong
Living in darkness to hide our wrong
(chorus)
You and me
at the dark end of the street
You and me
I know it's time to take it slow
We have to pay for the love we stole
it's a sin and we know it's wrong
Ah but our love keeps coming on strong
(Chorus)
Steal away
to the dark end of the street
You and me
They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us lost someday
You and me
At the dark end of the street
You and me
And when the daylight hour rolls around
If by chance we are both down in the town
If we should meet, just walk, walk on by
Oh darlin' don't you cry
(Chorus)
Tonight we meet
At the dark end of the street
You and me
