Darkness On the Edge of Town (Live at ICC SAAL 1, Berlin, Germany - April 1996)
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 there's a darkness on the edge of town
There's a darkness on the edge of town
Well, everybody's got a secret, Sonny
Everybody's got something that they just can't face
Some folks they spend their whole lives trying to keep it
Yeah, they carry it with them every step that they take
For one day, well 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
In the darkness on the edge of town
But a some folks are born into a good life
Other folks get it anyway anyhow
Me, well, I lost my faith and I lost my wife
For those things don't seem to matter much to me now
'Cause 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
In the darkness on the edge of town
In the darkness on the edge of town
In the darkness on the edge of town
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 there's a darkness on the edge of town
There's a darkness on the edge of town
Well, everybody's got a secret, Sonny
Everybody's got something that they just can't face
Some folks they spend their whole lives trying to keep it
Yeah, they carry it with them every step that they take
For one day, well 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
In the darkness on the edge of town
But a some folks are born into a good life
Other folks get it anyway anyhow
Me, well, I lost my faith and I lost my wife
For those things don't seem to matter much to me now
'Cause 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
In the darkness on the edge of town
In the darkness on the edge of town
In the darkness on the edge of town
