"Paradise" - Bruce Springsteen

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