Bruce Springsteen - Life Itself lyrics
[Bruce Springsteen - Life Itself lyrics]
We met down in the valley
Where the wine of love and destruction flows
There in that curve of darkness where
The flowers of temptation grow
I left the rest for the others
It was you and nothing else
You felt so good to me, baby
As good as life it'self
You were life it'self, rushing over me
Life it'self, the wind in the black elms
Life it'self, in your heart and in your eyes
I can't make it without you
I knew you were in trouble
And anyone could tell
You carried your little black book from
Which all your secrets fell
You squandered all your riches, your
Your beauty and your wealth
Like you had no further use for
For life it'self
You were life it'self, rushing over me
Life it'self, the wind in the black elms
Life it'self, in your heart and in your eyes
I can't make it without you
Why the things that we treasure
Most slip away in time?
Until to the music we grow deaf
And to God's beauty blind
Why do the things that connect
Us slowly pull us apart?
Until we fall away in our own darkness
Stranger to our own hearts
You were life it'self, rushing over me
Life it'self, the wind in the black elms
Life it'self, in your heart and in your eyes
I can't make it without you
So here's one for the road
Here's one to your health
You were life it'self, rushing over me
Life it'self, the wind in the black elms
Life it'self, in your heart and in your eyes
I can't make it without you
Where the wine of love and destruction flows
There in that curve of darkness where
The flowers of temptation grow
I left the rest for the others
It was you and nothing else
You felt so good to me, baby
As good as life it'self
You were life it'self, rushing over me
Life it'self, the wind in the black elms
Life it'self, in your heart and in your eyes
I can't make it without you
I knew you were in trouble
And anyone could tell
You carried your little black book from
Which all your secrets fell
You squandered all your riches, your
Your beauty and your wealth
Like you had no further use for
For life it'self
You were life it'self, rushing over me
Life it'self, the wind in the black elms
Life it'self, in your heart and in your eyes
I can't make it without you
Why the things that we treasure
Most slip away in time?
Until to the music we grow deaf
And to God's beauty blind
Why do the things that connect
Us slowly pull us apart?
Until we fall away in our own darkness
Stranger to our own hearts
You were life it'self, rushing over me
Life it'self, the wind in the black elms
Life it'self, in your heart and in your eyes
I can't make it without you
So here's one for the road
Here's one to your health
You were life it'self, rushing over me
Life it'self, the wind in the black elms
Life it'self, in your heart and in your eyes
I can't make it without you
