Bruce Springsteen - Child Bride lyrics

a lovely, poignant song

about a man fated to be kept apart from his true love

"Well, sometimes I dream of gettin' outta here,

Headin' down towards them old tracks

I swore I'd come and get her

But I know I ain't never goin' back

"There's nights I can't sleep

No matter how hard I try

So from my window I watch the moonlight

Fall on the far hillside

"I imagine I put on my jacket,

Go down to this little roadside bar

Pick a stranger and spin around the dance floor

To a Mexican guitar"
