Текст песни Bruce Springsteen - Dont Back Down

Don't Back Down
Bruce Springsteen
Recorded in early 1983 at Bruce's home studio in Los Angeles. The recordings made there
are him playing all the
instruments besides the drums, which is played by a drum machine. This song was
considered for the 'Born In
The U.S..' album, but it was ultimately rejected.

One, two, one, two, three

When the night winds rustle the far away leaves
Rolling down the Conna valley through the cottonwood trees
And a white river rises with last season's rains
I awake in the darkness and I call your name

Don't back down on our love
Don't back down on our love
Don't back down on our love
Don't back down
Baby, don't back down on our love
Don't back down on our love
Don't back down on our love
Don't back down

I lie awake and I know that sleep won't come soon
So I watch the headlights crawl up and down the wall of the lonesome room

Think of that club by the river where we danced on and on
We swore our love would last forever and you laughed on and on

Don't back down on our love
Don't back down on our love
Don't back down on our love
Don't back down

Yeah, come on, I wanna weep but I'm broke inside and the tears won't run
I want to sleep but there ain't no dream and the sleep won't come

      /    /        /      /       /         /   

Last night I stood on Black Mountain and looked out to the sea
Where the waters of Mystery River go rushing endlessly
And the love we swore would last as long as the waters roared on
I awoke in the darkness, it was gone, gone, gone

Don't back down on our love
Don't back down on our love
Don't back down on our love
Don't back down
Baby, don't back down on our love
Don't back down on our love
Don't back down on our love
Don't back down
Baby, don't back down on our love
Don't back down on our love
Don't back down on our love
Baby don't back down
