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 ya Step into a dark saloon Peer across the smoke filled room I can feel her a mile away She smiles and beckons me Now we're dancing through 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
