Song | Darkness on the Edge of Town |
Artist | Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band |
Album | Live 1975-85 |
Lyrics:Bruce Springsteen Music:Bruce Springsteen | |
They're still racing out at the Trestles | |
But that blood it never burned in her veins | |
Now I hear she's got a house up in Fairview | |
And a style she's trying to maintain | |
Well if she wants to see me | |
You can tell her that I'm easily found | |
Tell her there's a spot out `neath Abram's Bridge | |
And tell her there's a darkness on the edge of town | |
Everybody's got a secret Sonny | |
Something that they just can't face | |
Some folks spend their whole lives trying to keep it | |
They carry it with them every step that they take | |
Till some day they just cut it loose | |
Cut it loose or let it drag `em down | |
Where no one asks any questions | |
Or looks too long in your face | |
In the darkness on the edge of town | |
Some folks are born into a good life | |
Other folks get it anyway anyhow | |
I lost my money and I lost my wife | |
Them things don't seem to matter much to me now | |
Tonight I'll be on that hill `cause I can't stop | |
I'll be on that hill with everything I got | |
Lives on the line where dreams are found and lost | |
I'll be there on time and I'll pay the cost | |
For wanting things that can only be found | |
In the darkness on the edge of town |
Lyrics: Bruce Springsteen Music: Bruce Springsteen | |
They' re still racing out at the Trestles | |
But that blood it never burned in her veins | |
Now I hear she' s got a house up in Fairview | |
And a style she' s trying to maintain | |
Well if she wants to see me | |
You can tell her that I' m easily found | |
Tell her there' s a spot out neath Abram' s Bridge | |
And tell her there' s a darkness on the edge of town | |
Everybody' s got a secret Sonny | |
Something that they just can' t face | |
Some folks spend their whole lives trying to keep it | |
They carry it with them every step that they take | |
Till some day they just cut it loose | |
Cut it loose or let it drag em down | |
Where no one asks any questions | |
Or looks too long in your face | |
In the darkness on the edge of town | |
Some folks are born into a good life | |
Other folks get it anyway anyhow | |
I lost my money and I lost my wife | |
Them things don' t seem to matter much to me now | |
Tonight I' ll be on that hill cause I can' t stop | |
I' ll be on that hill with everything I got | |
Lives on the line where dreams are found and lost | |
I' ll be there on time and I' ll pay the cost | |
For wanting things that can only be found | |
In the darkness on the edge of town |
