Darkness On The Edge Of Town - Live at Wembley Arena, London, UK - 6/5/1981

Ah one, two, three, four

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 (hey!)

Well, if she wants to see me
You can tell her that I'm easily found
Tell her there's a spot out beneath Abram's Bridge
And tell her

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
Something that they just can't face
Some folks spend their whole lives just trying to keep it
They carry it with them every step that they take

'Til one day they just cut it loose
Cut it loose or let it drag them down
When no one asks any questions
And looks towards your face

In the darkness on the edge of town
In the darkness on the edge of town (oh)

Now, some folks are born into a good life
Other folks get it anyway, anyhow
Well, now I lost my money and I lost my wife
But those things, they don't seem to matter so 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
Live's 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
