BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN - Paradise lyrics

rate me

Where the river runs black<br>I take the schoolbooks from your pack<br>Plastics, wire and your kiss<br>The breath of eternity on your lips<br><br>In the crowded marketplace<br>I drift from face to face<br>I hold my breath and close my eyes<br>I hold my breath and close my eyes<br>And I wait for paradise<br>And I wait for paradise<br><br>The virginia hills have gone to brown<br>Another day another sun going down<br>I visit you in another dream<br>I visit you in another dream<br><br>I reach and feel your hair<br>Your smell lingers in the air<br>I brush your cheek with my fingertips<br>I taste the void upon your lips<br>And I wait for paradise<br>And I wait for paradise<br><br>I search for you on the other side<br>Where the river runs clean and wide<br>Up to my heart the waters rise<br>Up to my heart the waters rise<br><br>I sink `neath the water cool and clear<br>Drifting down, I disappear<br>I see you on the other side<br>I search for the peace in your eyes<br>But they're as empty as paradise<br>They're as empty as paradise<br>I break above the waves<br>I feel the sun upon my face
