PARADISE - BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
----------------------------
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

We all live in Paradise! Paradise is our world...we are destroying by making bad choices!

Beautiful and soul stirring. The stark contrast in a Tom Joad stripped down style. Of course while many songs on The Rising would never come to life if no 9/11. Never forgive Never Forget!

This song is about is about a suicide bomber.

Springsteen says so much with such economy.
'Another day another sun ging down': emptiness , deetachment, lonlieness, silence.
The phenomenally evocative alliteration in the 'water cool and clear'.
'I feel the sun upon my face': affirmation, acceptance, life, renewal rebirth. His symbolism and just FUKING amazing. He is a GOD!
