The Dark Side of Town

I had to let you know, I'm doing fine

Maybe I'm getting hard or it could be the red wine

But I thought that what we had would run till eternity

L.O.V.E. I would never go to the dark side of town without you

I remember when I met you, how slow I was to act

But I hadn't used my heart before, that's a fact

Puppet shows and olive trees, love in foreign rooms

These relics of affection in a simple tune

I would never go to the dark side of town without you

The river is wide, the river is long

The dredgers do their work, they carry me along

Come on time, do your magic trick

Take this all away from me, make it quick

Oh, don't go away, I don't mean those things I say

Frustration takes hold of me and I say things

You picked me up, you spun me round, you made me something better

Overnight my fortunes changed, now I read all letters

If I could see it from your side, things might be clear

Only you know what you promised, I won't reveal this here

I'm walking on the streets of the dark side of town without you

I'm living in a house on the dark side of town without you

I'm lying in a bed on the dark side of town without you

Oh, don't go away, I don't mean those things I say

Frustration takes hold of me and I say things
