paradise

• bruce springsteen'in the rising albümünde bulunan, tam da kapat gözlerini dinle kıvamında, sallanan sandalye şarkısı.
  
  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
