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 Just you and me
I know that time is gonna take its toll We're gonna pay for the love that we stole Ah it's a sin and we know that it's wrong Ah but our love keeps coming on strong You and me, at the dark end of the street Just you and me
They're gonna find us They're gonna find us They're gonna find us someday We'll steal away to the dark end of the street Just you and me
If you take a walk downtown And you find some time to look around If you should see me and I walk on by Oh darling please don't cry Tonight we'll meet At the dark end of the street Just you and me Oh you and me
