“Darkest Street” is a very melancholy song which has a lot of Motown influences in it. The song describes the feeling the man/woman in the song has when he/she feels left behind or ignored in a relationship.
[Verse 1]
I'm asking you why, oh why
Can't we be together
'Cause I really don't understand
And you could go cry, and cry on forever
I really don't understand
You and me
'Cause we should be
Together
[Pre-Chorus]
Our house is not a home
If I'm living here alone
And I'm standing looking down, looking down
On the street below
[Chorus]
Cars broken down
My baby cries
Without a sound
All the lights
Get taken down
On the darkest street
In town
[Verse 2]
I'm asking you why, oh why
Can't we be forever
'Cause I really don't understand
And we gonna try and try
To keep it together
'Cause I really don't understand
You and me
'Cause we should be
Forever
[Pre-Chorus]
Our house is not a home
If I'm living here alone
And I'm standing looking down, looking down
On the street below
[Chorus]
Cars broken down
My baby cries
Without a sound
All the lights
Get taken down
On the darkest street
In town
[Saxophone solo]
[Chorus]
All the lights
Get taken down
On the darkest street
In town
