Bruce Springsteen - Over the Rise lyrics
[Bruce Springsteen - Over the Rise lyrics]
I walk along the levee to see the gypsy man
The dirt 'neath my feet, baby
Is turnin' to quicksand
He looked into my palm
Then looked me in the eye
Told me you were gone, gone over the rise
Once we stood together at the wishing well
Our wishes like dreams, baby
Into the water fell
Oh then I kissed your lips
But when I looked into your eyes
Baby, they were gone, gone over the rise
Tonight the blackbirds fly low
On the water's edge
Oh we walked this path not
Knowing where it led
Now at the bottom of the river
Deep lies something shiny and golden
It's a promise that love couldn't keep
Same as a promise broken
Well I woke last night to the sound of rain
The wind rustling branches against
The window pane
I searched the pillow beside me
For the tears we cried
Baby, they were gone, gone over the rise
The dirt 'neath my feet, baby
Is turnin' to quicksand
He looked into my palm
Then looked me in the eye
Told me you were gone, gone over the rise
Once we stood together at the wishing well
Our wishes like dreams, baby
Into the water fell
Oh then I kissed your lips
But when I looked into your eyes
Baby, they were gone, gone over the rise
Tonight the blackbirds fly low
On the water's edge
Oh we walked this path not
Knowing where it led
Now at the bottom of the river
Deep lies something shiny and golden
It's a promise that love couldn't keep
Same as a promise broken
Well I woke last night to the sound of rain
The wind rustling branches against
The window pane
I searched the pillow beside me
For the tears we cried
Baby, they were gone, gone over the rise
