Should I Fall Behind Lyrics by Bruce Springsteen

Should I Fall Behind

We said we'd walk together,
Baby come what may,
Then come the twilight,
Should we lose our way,
But if as we're walkin',
A hand should slip free,
Well, I will wait for you,
And if I fall behind wait for me.

Baby we swore we'd travel,
Darlin' side by side,
That we'd help each other stay in stride,
But each lover's steps fall so differently,
Well, I will wait for you,
Should I fall behind wait for me.

Now everyone dreams of love lasting and true,
But you and I know what this world can do,
So lets make our steps clear so the other may see,
And I'll wait for you,
Should I fall behind wait for me.

There's a beautiful river,
In the valley ahead,
There neath the oaks bough,
Soon we will wed,
Should we lose each other,
In the shadow of the evening's tree,
Well, I will wait for you,
Should I fall behind wait for me.

I'll wait for you, should I fall behind wait for me.
