Darktown

Sun is low now in the sky

soon the cold will start to bite

and I'm kicking some old

empty can

down a barren street yah

step into a dark saloon

peer across the smoke filled room

I can feel her heat a mile away

she smiles and beckons me

Now we're dancing throught the mist

face to face I taste her breath

our gaze locks into a hazy trance I start to quiver

now she comes to comfort me I tell her I'm too blind to see

a warm bed and a fresh breath of air and you'll feel better

I know the feeling that you get

too bad it's only for a moment

lost in the shadows of the night

she turned and took my hand said

stay by my side, slip between the light

mirror my image we'll be alright

The key that opens up a thousand doors of mystery

unlocks a basement full of fears

start to unravel in it you might as well be blind

she saw my fright and closed her eyes

Don't fall in love it's a crazy nightmare

she looked at me and she winked an eye

it's too soon to say good-bye to this darktown

could use a fortune of imagination

refuse to look but I cannot deny

gotta make it out tonight of this darktown

Sorry to leave you in this crazy nightmare

she looked at and she winked and eye

that's too bad so goodbye to your darktown

could use a fortune of imagination

I turned to look but I closed my eyes

and I won't turn back tonight to this darktown
