Lyrics for Living Proof by BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN:
| | | Artist: | BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Living Proof | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 267 | | | | Lyrics: | Well now on a summer night in a dusky room
Come a little piece of the Lord's undying
light
Crying like he swallowed the fiery moon
In his mother's arms it was all the beauty I
could take
Like the missing words to some prayer that I could never make
In a world so hard
and dirty so fouled and confused
Searching for a little bit of God's mercy
I found living
proof
I put my heart and soul I put 'em high upon a shelf
Right next to the faith the
faith that I'd lost in myself
I went down into the desert city
Just tryin' so hard to shed
my skin
I crawled deep into some kind of darkness
Lookin' to burn out every trace of who I'd
been
You do some sad sad things baby
When it's you you're tryin' to lose
You do some sad
and hurtful things
I've seen living proof
You shot through my anger and rage
To
show me my prison was just an open cage
There were no keys no guards
Just one frightened man
and some old shadows for bars
Well now all that's sure on the boulevard
Is that life is
just a house of cards
As fragile as each and every breath
Of this boy sleepin' in our
bed
Tonight let's lie beneath the eaves
Just a close band of happy thieves
And when that
train comes we'll get on board
And steal what we can from the treasures treasures of the
Lord
It's been a long long drought baby
Tonight the rain's pourin' down on our
roof
Looking for a little bit of God's mercy
I found living proof | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
