    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 is gonna take its toll
    We're have 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, to the dark end of the street, mmm mmm
    They're gonna find us
    They're gonna find us
    They're gonna find us, oh someday
    You and me, at the dark end of the street
    You and me
    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, mmm mm

    I keep finding these shiny gems along my travels on the interwebz and I am just blown away every time. You've inspired me to start singing again after a 20 year break from voice/opera, mostly brought on by life.
    I'm so thankful every day for your music. Keep singing, Andrew ❤

      I have to agree with you. As a matter of fact, I loved Linda Ronstadt's version until I heard this version from Hozier. The dude's voice is fucking amazing. Probably why I loved Ronstadt's version due to her beautiful voice!

    My girl turned me onto " From Eden" such a beautiful and wonderful gift and one of my very favorites now ( this weekend we will sneak out onto the beach when it's the wee hours and we will dance to that song) AND NOW I get to share this very soulful ---- gorgeous version of " Dark End of the Street. What an incredible tale on one of my favorite songs!! Thank you.

      @paganmaestro 6 років тому +6

      Yeah, Dan wrote it with Chips Moman in 1967. When asked, Dan will say, "No one does it like James Carr."

    You took an almost perfect song and made it as generic as it can get... Same rythm on every song...
