Bruce Springsteen - Don't Back Down On Our Love Lyrics

Bruce Springsteen Lyrics

"Don't Back Down On Our Love"

When the night winds rustle the far away leaves
Rolling down the Kayona Valley through the cottonwood trees
And the wild river rises with last season's rains
I awake in the darkness and I call your name

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

Baby, 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

I 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
Think of that club by the river where we danced on and on
Swore our love would last forever, and you laughed on and on

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

Yeah, I wanna weep
But I'm broke inside and my tears won't run
I wanna sleep
But there ain't no dream, and the sleep won't come

Last night I stood on Black Mountain
And looked out to the sea
Where the waters of Mystery River
Go rushing endlessly
And the love we swore would last as long
As those waters roared on
I awoke in the darkness
It was gone, gone, gone

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

Baby, 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

Honey, 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
