Bruce Springsteen - Linda Let Me Be The One lyrics

The midnight boys are outside

Scraping tears up off the street

Standin' guard beneath the window

Where only Linda sleeps

The leader is a kid named Eddie

Walkin' like an angel in defeat

He trashes her old man's car, slashes Linda's name in the street

And calls out

CHORUS

Linda will you let me be the one

Linda will you let me be the one

Linda will you let me be the one

Linda will you let me be the one

In a room full of contenders

Eddy spars 'til he drops to his bed and surrenders Draped in the scarves

He stole from Linda's bedroom

The night he layed at her feet

When the midnight boys were stranded

Down on Cason Street

CHORUS

In the basement of St Mary's

Eddy hides from the rain

In with the stolen sisters 'til the streets are dry again

Talkin' fast cars and spare parts

Empty homes and hearts

Distant worlds with strange girls

And kneeling with Linda in the dark
