For You lyrics

Artist  : Bruce Springsteen 
Song : For You



 Send "For You" Ringtone to your Cell 

 Princess cards she sends me with her regards
Barroom eyes shine vacancy, to see her you gotta
look hard
Wounded deep in battle, I stand stuffed like some
soldier undaunted
To her cheshire smile. I’ll stand on file, she’s
all I ever wanted
But you let your blue walls get in the way of
these facts
Honey, get your carpetbaggers off my back
You wouldn’t even give me time to cover my
tracks
You said "here’s your mirror and your ball
and jacks"
But they’re not what I came for, and I’m sure you
see that too
I came for you, for you, I came for you, but you
did not need my urgency
I came for you, for you, I came for you, but your
life was one long
Emergency
And your cloud line urges me, and my electric
surges free

Crawl into my ambulance, your pulse is getting
weak
Reveal yourself all now to me girl while you’ve
got the strength to speak
`cause they’re waiting for you at bellevue with
their oxygen masks
But I could give it all to you now if only you
could ask
And don’t call for your surgeon even he says it’s
too late
It’s not your lungs this time, it’s your heart
that holds your fate
Don’t give me money, honey, I don’t want it back
You and your pony face and your union jack
Well take your local joker and teach him how to
act
I swear I was never that way even when I really
cracked
Didn’t you think I knew that you were born with
the power of a locomotive
Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound? 
And your chelsea suicide with no apparent motive
You could laugh and cry in a single sound

And your strength is devastating in the face of
all these odds
Remember how I kept you waiting when it was my
turn to be the god? 

You were not quite half so proud when I found you
broken on the beach
Remember how I poured salt on your tongue and
hung just out of reach
And the band they played the homecoming theme as
I caressed your cheek
They ragged, jagged melody she still clings to me
like a leach
But that medal you wore on your chest always got
in the way
Like a little girl with a trophy so soft to buy
her way
We were both hitchhikers but you had your ear
tuned to the roar
Of some metal-tempered engine on an alien,
distant shore
So you, left to find a better reason than the one
we were living for
And it’s not that nursery mouth I came back for
It’s not the way you’re stretched out on the
floor
`cause I’ve broken all your windows and I’ve
rammed through all your doors
And who am I to ask you to lick my sores? and you
should know that’s true
I came for you, for you, I came for you, but you
did not need my urgency
I came for you, for you, I came for you, but your
life was one long
Emergency
And your cloud line urges me, and my electric
surges free
