Bruce Springsteen - Black Mountain Ballad

When the night wind rustles the faraway eaves
Rollin' down the long valley through the cottonwood trees
And the wild river rises with last season's rains
I awake in the darkness and call your name

I lie awake and I know that sleep won't come soon
I watch the headlights crawl up and down the wall of my lonely room
I think of that club by the river where we danced on and on
I swore our love could last forever and you laughed on and on

There's a highway over yonder lit by a moon pale and cold
Where together we would wander before our love grew old
There were roadside stands and a hundred faces we would never know
But we held tight to each other and you said, "John, I love you so"

I wanna weep but the tears won't run
I wanna sleep but the sleep don't come

Last night I stood on Black Mountain and looked out to the sea
Where the waters of the Mystery River go rushing endlessly
All she said was, "I'm sorry, Joe, but I gotta go"
We had it once but we ain't got it anymore
