Won’t you take me in and give me shelter from this storm I’m all done in and suffering in pain The things you said have given me cause for some concern And life I feel has dealt me a bad hand I know I’m getting older but I’m far from being weak I’ve always been a soldier, but now I’m in the shadow of defeat I don’t know where I should be I’m on the Darkside of the street, I got no shoes upon my feet Won’t you try your best, give me a helping hand I’m on the outside looking in, and I bear the wеight of sin Won’t you take my hand and get me on my feet From thе Darkside of the street Out here on the road I feel the walls closing in And I find myself trying to stay strong But don’t you know I’m learning, from the sins of yesterday And tomorrow brings the hope for which i long The wheels are turning slower, but the weight is on my shoulders I’ve got lessons I could serve Oh I guess you get what you deserve I’m on the Darkside of the street, I got no shoes upon my feet Won’t you try your best, give me a helping hand I’m on the outside looking in, and I bear the weight of sin Won’t you take my hand and get me on my feet From the Darkside of the street Somewhere down in Mexico I was running from the ghost On a path nobody goes I’m the one nobody knows On the Darkside of the street I’m on the Darkside of the street, I got no shoes upon my feet Won’t you try your best, give me a helping hand I’m on the outside looking in, and I bear the weight of sin Won’t you take my hand and get me on my feet From the Darkside of the street
