--- Start Of Matamoros Banks By Bruce Springsteen ---

For two days the river keeps you down
Then you rise to the light without a sound
Past the playgrounds and empty switching yards
The turtles eat the skin from your eyes so they lay open to the stars

Your clothes give way to the current and river stone
'Till every trace of who you ever were is gone
And the things of the earth they make their claim
That the things of heaven may do the same

Goodbye, my darling, for your love I give God thanks
Meet me on the Matamoros
Meet me on the Matamors
Meet me on the Matamors banks

Over rivers of stone and ancient ocean beds
I walk on dust of twine and tire tread
My pockets full of dust ... my mouth filled with cool stone
The pale moon opens the earth ... to its bones

I long my darling for your kiss
For your sweet love I give ... God thanks
The touch of your loving fingertips
Meet me on the Matamoros
Meet me on the Matamoros
Meet me on the Matamoros bnks

Break

Your sweet memory comes on the evenin' wind
I sleep and dream of holding you in my arms again
The lights of Brownsville across the river shine
A shout rings out and into the silty red river I dive

I long my darling for your kiss
For your sweet love I give God thanks
A touch of your loving fingertips
Meet me on the Matamoros
Meet me on the Matamoros
Meet me on the Matamoros banks

Meet me on the Matamoros
Meet me on the Matamoros
Meet me on the Matamoros banks
