LOVE'S DEAD END
(Bobby Sykes / Bill Phillips)


Bill Phillips - 1966





I walked into this lonely town, met an old friend of mine
I told him I came here to try and get you off my mind
If you don't change the way you do, soon you'll run out of friends
Then you'll be lonely just like me, down at Love's Dead End

I asked a man who seemed to know his way around the town
If he knew where I could go to let my mem'ries drown
He said I know of just the place, I'll take you there my friend
It's down along the waterfront, they call it Love's Dead End

We'll walk down Heartbreak Avenue past the point of no return
The farther down the street you go, the more your heart will yearn
Go past the place where lights are low they call Regretful Inn
Fifty teardrops to the right and you're at Love's Dead End

(Instrumental Break)

We'll walk down Heartbreak Avenue past the point of no return
The farther down the street you go, the more your heart will yearn
Go past the place where lights are low they call Regretful Inn
Fifty teardrops to the right and you're at Love's Dead End
