Jon Brooks & The Outskirts of Approval - In the Alleys
Where she counts her tips and gets a cigarette
Where he finds the cans and bottles the night left
Ah, there will always be despair, there'll always be a doubt
But in the alleys and in love there is the truth
Where he stops to bum a smoke and then a light
Where she finds the time to hope her kid's all right
And there will always be a sadness, life will leave a bruise
But in the alleys and in love there is the truth
Tomorrow's sun will light the sky
Under which this world will lie again to you
But in the alleys and in love, in the alleys and in love
In the alleys and in love there is the truth
And where the secret and the sacred still collide
Where all stumbling and grace and trust abide
Ah, there will always be facades down all our avenues
But in the alleys and in love there is the truth
Yes, in the alleys and in love, in the alleys and in love
In the alleys and in love there is the truth
In the alleys and in love there is the truth
