Maria's Bed lyrics
Song information
Artist: Bruce Springsteen Album: Devils & Dust
Lyrics
Been on a barbed wire highway 40 days and nights I ain't complainin', it's my job and it suits me right I got a sweet soft fever rushin' around my head I'm gonna sleep tonight in maria's bed
Got on a dead man suit and smilin' skull ring Lucky graveyard boots and a song to sing I keep my heart in my work but trouble's in my head And I keep my soul in maria's bed
I been up on sugar mountain, cross the sweet blue seas I walked the valley of love and tears and mystery I got run out'a luck and give myself up for dead And I drank the cool clear waters from maria's bed
She give me candy stick kisses 'neath a wolf dog moon One sweet breath and she'll take you mister to the upper room I was burned by the angels, sold wings of lead Then I fell in the roses and sweet salvation of maria's bed
I been out in the desert yeah doin' my time Searchin' through the dust for fools gold, lookin' for a sign Holy man said "hold on brother there's a light up ahead" Ain't nothing like a light that shines on me in maria's bed
Well I'll take my blessings at the riverhead I'm living in the light of maria's bed
