Bruce Springsteen - Child Bride lyrics
[Bruce Springsteen - Child Bride lyrics]
A lovely, poignant song
About a man fated to be kept
Apart from his true love
"Well, sometimes I dream of
Gettin' outta here
Headin' down towards them old tracks
I swore I'd come and get her
But I know I ain't never goin' back
"There's nights I can't sleep
No matter how hard I try
So from my window I watch the moonlight
Fall on the far hillside
"I imagine I put on my jacket
Go down to this little roadside bar
Pick a stranger and spin
Around the dance floor to a Mexican guitar"
About a man fated to be kept
Apart from his true love
"Well, sometimes I dream of
Gettin' outta here
Headin' down towards them old tracks
I swore I'd come and get her
But I know I ain't never goin' back
"There's nights I can't sleep
No matter how hard I try
So from my window I watch the moonlight
Fall on the far hillside
"I imagine I put on my jacket
Go down to this little roadside bar
Pick a stranger and spin
Around the dance floor to a Mexican guitar"
