Lyrics for Cautious Man by BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN:
| | | Artist: | BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Cautious Man | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 148 | | | | Lyrics: | Bill Horton was a cautious man of the road
He walked lookin' over his shoulder and remained
faithful to its code
When something caught his eye he'd measure his need
And then very
carefully he'd proceed
Billy met a young girl in the early days of May
It was there in
her arms he let his cautiousness slip away
In their lovers twilight as the evening sky grew
dim
He'd lay back in her arms and laugh at what had happened to him
On his right hand
Billy'd tattooed the word love and on his left hand was the word fear
And in which hand he held
his fate was never clear
Come Indian summer he took his young lover for his bride
And with
his own hands built her a great house down by the riverside
Now Billy was an honest man he
wanted to do what was right
He worked hard to fill their lives with happy days and loving
night
Alone on his knees in the darkness for steadiness he'd pray
For he knew in a restless
heart the seed of betrayal lay
One night Billy awoke from a terrible dream callin' his
wife's name
She lay breathing beside him in a peaceful sleep, a thousand miles away
He got
dressed in the moonlight and down to the highway he strode
When he got there he didn't find
nothing but road
Billy felt a coldness rise up inside him that he couldn't name
Just as
the words tattooed 'cross his knuckles he knew would always remain
At their bedside he brushed
the hair from his wife's face as the moon shone on her skin so white
Filling their room in the
beauty of God's fallen light | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
