Paradise By The 'C' - Bruce Springsteen

The Rising\nParadise\nWhere the river runs black\nI take the schoolbooks from your pack\nPlastics, wire and your kiss\nThe breath of eternity on your lips\nIn the crowded marketplace\nI drift from face to face\nI hold my breath and close my eyes\nI hold my breath and close my eyes\nAnd I wait for paradise\nAnd I wait for paradise\nThe Virginia hills have gone to brown\nAnother day another sun going down\nI visit you in another dream\nI visit you in another dream\nI reach and feel your hair\nYour smell lingers in the air\nI brush your cheek with my fingertips\nI taste the void upon your lips\nAnd I wait for paradise\nAnd I wait for paradise\nI search for you on the other side\nWhere the river runs clean and wide\nUp to my heart the waters rise\nUp to my heart the waters rise\nI sink `neath the water cool and clear\nDrifting down, I disappear\nI see you on the other side\nI search for the peace in your eyes\nBut they’re as empty as paradise\nThey’re as empty as paradise\nI break above the waves\nI feel the sun upon my face
