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 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
