Worlds
Apart
by Bruce Springsteen (The Rising)
I hold
you in my arms.
That's when it starts.
I seek faith in your kiss
and comfort in your heart.
I taste
the seed upon your lips,
lay my tongue upon your scars,
But when I look into your eyes,
we stand worlds apart.
Where the distant oceans sing
and rise to the plain,
in this dry and troubled country,
your beauty remains.
Down from
the mountain roads
where the highway rolls to dark,
'neath Allah's blessed rain,
we remain worlds apart.
Sometimes the truth just ain't enough
or it's too much in times like this.
Let's throw the truth away.
We'll find it in this kiss.
In your
skin upon my skin,
in the beating of our hearts,
may the living let us in,
before the dead tear us apart.
We'll let blood build a bridge
over mountains draped in stars.
I'll meet you on the ridge
between these worlds apart.
We've got
this moment now to live,
then it's all just dust and dark.
Let love give what it gives.
Let's let love give what it gives.
