[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 that 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 a coming on strong
Steal away to the dark end of the street, you and me
[Verse 3]
They're gonna find us, yes, they're gonna find us
They're gonna find us, Lord, some day
You and me at the dark end of the street, you and me
[Verse 4]
And when the daylight hours roll 'round, and by ten we're both downtown
If we should meet, you just walk on by, oh, my darling, now please don't you cry
Tonight we'll meet at the dark end of the street, you and me
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 that 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 a coming on strong
Steal away to the dark end of the street, you and me
[Verse 3]
They're gonna find us, yes, they're gonna find us
They're gonna find us, Lord, some day
You and me at the dark end of the street, you and me
[Verse 4]
And when the daylight hours roll 'round, and by ten we're both downtown
If we should meet, you just walk on by, oh, my darling, now please don't you cry
Tonight we'll meet at the dark end of the street, you and me
