Bruce Springsteen - Paradise Lyrics






Where the river runs to 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 goin' 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

    #Dicamitutto "I search for the peace in your eyes"
    If I wrote this song, these would be the lyrics:

    When my life was dark and black
    You took the schoolbooks from my pack
    Locker notes, we were so close, and then your kiss
    The breath of eternity on our lips

    Now 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 summer hills have gone to brown
    Another day, another sun goin' 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 our truth 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 river cool and clear
    Drifting down I disappear
    Til I can feel you by my side
    I search for the peace in your eyes
    For they are my paradise
    For they are my paradise

    Can't wait to break above the waves
    And feel your sun upon my face.............
    .

    x.... ....

    Oh mon grand regret de ne pouvoir comprendre les paroles en direct.
    Que jaime quand le boss chante avec douceur...quand il prononce le mot "paradise" avec tellement de retenue
    Sa voix me fait craquer.

  20. Z.... X....

    I can relax listening this song
    Thank you

  21. R.... K....

    Hat jeder verdient...irgendwann...irgendwo 🖤

  22. H.... S....

    I couldn't find a single word to describe how I felt, when listened to it for the first time. I still cannot describe it. It's beautiful.

  23. a.... d....

    Quanta tristezza questa canzone!!!😢😢😕😍😘💎🎶🎸🌲🌟⛄

  24. �.... �....

    Δικό μου🦂🌷💋💋💋

  25. P.... B....

    President Barack Obama was a Great President who took on an absolutely impossible job! God Bless him. Thank you all for helping me!

  26. H.... t....

    Bruce. This is the most beautifull love song of the world!!!!!!

  27. A.... L....

    Beautiful song but... is there anyone who hears some “Sound of silence” in it? No offense to Bruce however. It’s still a masterpiece. “Hello darkness my old friend, i ve come to talk to you again” sounds a bit like “Where the river runs to black, I take the schoolbooks from your pack”. Anyhow, both Simon and Springsteen provided us with beautiful poetry...

  28. B.... K....

    💀☠️👻👻

  29. V.... L....

    Bruce...um dos melhores: continua atemporal! Amo...

  30. c.... z....

    inspired by sounds of silence??? doesn't matter, it is a lovely song

    c.... z....

    The first thing that came to my mind as well. So I scrolled down the comments to check if anyone else felt it too. You.

  31. J.... ....

    I hope i get the chance to see him live one time, my biggest dream ❤🎶

  32. P.... G....

    It may be Springsteen's songwriting caused me being melancholic
    and saved me from becoming clinical depressive and worse...

  33. P.... C....

    Mr Springsteen This song, words, music, sound are so alive with spirit and emotion, tears just roll. Love of my life you are here with me now in paradise.

  34. a.... p....

    💘🎶🎵🎶

  35. G.... S....

    Liked the boss since 1979 and he stays relevant even now

  36. J.... R....

    For my beautiful son in Paradise.

  37. M.... M....

    Haunting and beautiful. First time hearing this song for me. How did I not hear it before? Awesome stuff here!

  38. J.... T....

    #BRUCE ❤ POUR TOUJOUR 1972

  43. D.... B....

    Il boss è un grande

  44. 3.... ....

    well this sums up my longest lasting relationship

  45. X.... P....

    This sounds so much like the "Sound of Silence" I thought it was a cover...

    X.... P....

    Most likely written in the same time signature, hence the resemblance

  46. g.... j....

    had never heard this before today, beautiful song

    g.... j....

    In that case You should listen
    to the whole The Rising album
    There is not one bad song on it

  47. f.... s....

    Bonjour a tous j aimerai que quelqu'un me traduise les paroles si une belle âme pourrait m aider merci

  48. S.... V....

  54. G.... S....

    Guitar in hand...I try to think of a few words to write a song. After listening to Bruce, I think.... why bother?

    G.... S....

    That's never the idea. Write what u feel.

  55. B.... B....

    Reminds me of Disturb's cover of Sound of Silence.

  86. T.... h....

    Wonderful lyrics and of course the sensitive voice of the best musician in the world

  87. D.... ....

    I think this song is about the poor people who decided to jump off the World Trade Center in 2001 and their memories that went through their minds before they jumped....very heartbreaking sad though...

  88. S.... -....

    What it is like to be the accomplice to a suicide bomber, and to die with her. One of Springsteen's most astonishing, and frankly scary, achievements.

  89. L.... W....

    Great song from a great man keep it up bruce

  90. O.... M....

    ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😎🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶👍

  91. B.... A....

    ......BOSS.....

  92. B.... R....

    If someone held a gun to my head I might say this was the best Springsteen song. Now ain't that saying something? Human condition and alll our hopes in a few minutes

  93. m.... c....

    And when the End as is beginning

  94. P.... O....

    It´s a Copy of the Sounds of Silence from Simon and Garfunkel !!!What a Fake .

  95. J.... M....

    When I bought The Rising my then 14 year old son said “what’s this rubbish” We listened in the car on the way home and he was hooked. Saw The Boss at the Albert Hall......Devils and Dust acoustic set..... just him and his guitar.......the best gig I’ve ever been to....He closed the show with Dream Baby Dream ....house lights on ....everyone on their feet spellbound......my son standing next to me

  96. M.... C....

    True genius. This song is beautingly hauntiful. One of the most hauntifully beauting songs i have ever heard and that i can listen to over and over.

  97. M.... O....

    My dear Bruce, you tuch my soul. Amezing song. Love you❤️

  98. A.... M....
