Dark End of the Street, The -SOTD

The Pilot epsisode of new series  Counterpart ends with the soulful James Carr's song                    The Dark End of the Street 

-see here about it-

lyrics:

At the dark end of the street

That's where we always meet

Hiding in shadows where we don't belong

Living in darkness to hide our wrong

You and me, at the dark end of the street

You and me

I know time is gonna take its toll

We're have pay for the love we stole

It's a sin and we know it's wrong

Oh but our love keeps coming on strong

Steal away, to the dark end of the street, mmm mmm

They're gonna find us

They're gonna find us

They're gonna find us, oh someday

You and me, at the dark end of the street

You and me

And when the daylight hour rolls around

And by chance we're both downtown

If we should meet, just walk on by

Oh darling, please don't cry

Tonight we'll meet

At the dark end of the street, mmm mmm

Songwriters: Chips Moman / Dan Penn

***

also a version of the song by THE COMMITMENTS in the Alan Parker 1991 film

covered by so many (from Percy Sledge to Ry Cooder, Gregg Allman, Elvis Costello, Frank Black to Cat Power)
and discoverd a Tom Petty desperate rambling live version from 1978 in Winterland

and remember why it rang a Van Morrison bell -from my faved Bright Side of the Road lyrics:

"From the dark end of the street, to the bright side of the road,"

....made my Sunday nite. The Street still has dark ends...ad you've gotta make endsmeet...
