letra de matamoros banks - bruce springsteen

[verse 1]
each year many die crossing the deserts
mountains and rivers of our southern borderin search of a better life
here i follow the journey backwards
from the body at the river bottom
to the man walking acrossthe desert towards the banks of the rio grande
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
untill 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

[chorus]
goodbye, my darling, for your love i give god thanks
meet me on the matamoros
meet me on the matamoros
meet me on the matamoros banks

[verse 2]
over rivers of stone and ancient ocean beds
i walk on sandals 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

[chorus]
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 banks

[verse 3]
your sweet memory comes on the evening 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

[chorus]
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
