I'll Work For Your Love

Lyrics By Bruce Springsteen

 Pour me a drink Theresa

In one of those glasses you dust off

And I'll watch the bones in your back

Like the Stations of the Cross

 

'Round your hair the sun lifts a halo

At your lips a crown of thorns

Whatever other deals gone down

To this one I'm sworn

 

I'll work for you love, dear

I'll work for your love

What others may want for free

I'll work for you love

 

The dust of civilizations

And loves sweet remains

Slip off of your fingers

And come driftin' down like rain

 

The pages of Revelation

Lie open in your empty eyes of blue

I watch you slip that

comb through your hair

and this I promise you

 

I'll work for you love, dear

I'll work for your love

What others may want for free

I'll work for you love

 

Your tears, they fill the rosary

At your feet, my temple of bones

Here in this perdition we go on and on

 

Now our city of peace has crumbled

Our book of faith's been tossed

And I'm just out here searchin'

For my own piece of the cross

 

The late afternoon sun fills the room

With the mist of the

garden before the fall

I watch your hands smooth the front

of your blouse

and seven drops of blood fall

 

I'll work for you love, dear

I'll work for your love

What others may want for free

I'll work for your...

What others may want for free

I'll work for you...

What others may want for free

I'll work for your love
