The Deborah Harry song catalog you find on this page was compiled by me, the webmaster, with the help of my personal record collection, booklets, biographies, setlists, ASCAP, the LoC (Library of Congress), articles and (live) bootlegs. It's my goal to create a page which features Deborah's complete musical body of work, no matter if Deborah was in any way musically involved herself or whether she contributed her own lyrics to a project. In order to keep up the standard of this page and to make it grow you can help by submitting song titles and/or information which are missing on this site. Every contribution is greatly appreciated. Official song lyrics were taken from booklets. I transcribed those songs myself where no official lyrics were available (with no guarantee for their accuracy). I apologize for possible errors and will gladly take corrections. I kindly ask you not to copy any of these lyrics from this page.
All song pages include links to the albums, singles and/or live albums which they were released on. Best Ofs and soundtracks were only listed if there is a special mix available on the record or the song title itself was previously unreleased.

END OF THE RUN

Darkness falls like a black leather jacket and melts into the sidewalk like a sleeping drunk in the streets the wind throws yesterday's headlines around another night comes and goes

So for awhile back then there was someplace to go somewhere more home than a house a family of choice not an accident but sometimes as soon as something gets started it's over

Now the days are much shorter and the people from the good part of town all come around but the something is missing even though there's more there now I shrug off my attempts to explain how a torn T-shirt made it all danger again

I don't like flashbacks in movies I like the story to proceed I don't like talking about the old days except if it tells where the future will lead

So we take a walk down this haunted hall or stumble through a shattered recall I know there's nothing to relive it's just the shape of it all I don't want it different don't want it again but value for value now I'd never want it to end you think of the old friends and faces no more to be seen you think how much fun a line-up would mean

And once that tape starts playing it's too hard to make it rewind that one special face takes over your mind

That end of the run we almost won the end of the run we had our fun the end of the run I knew it then it won't be back again

We stood in the cold night though we should be warm in the back of the lot with me in your arms the sun was falling the grey rain was pouring the cars were all dirty and slow we both had our kiss and out of the depths and darkness with my eyes closed I still see you fine 'cause that was the season we make our dreams come true there was no limit to what we could do

The end of the run we almost won the end of the run we had our fun the end of the run I knew it then he won't be back again

Once that tape starts playing it's too hard to make it rewind. with my eyes closed I still see you fine that was the season we make our dreams come true there was no limit to what we could do

The end of the run we almost won the end of the run we had our fun the end of the run I knew it then he won't be back again
