Don’t Back Down Lyrics by Bruce Springsteen

0

[Intro]
One, two, three

[Verse 1]
When the night winds rustle the far away leaves
Rolling down the 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

[Chorus]
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 on our love

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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 on our love

[Verse 3]
Last night I stood on Black Mountain and looked out to the sea
Where the waters of Mystеry River go rushing endlessly
And thе love we swore would last as long as the waters roared on
I woke in the darkness, it was gone, gone, gone

[Chorus]
Don't back down on our love
Don't back down on our love
Don't back down on our love

[Outro]
Don't back down on our love
Don't back down, love
Don't back down on our love
Don't back down on our love
