I don't need your answered prayers
Or the chains your lover wears
I don't need your rings of gold
Or the secrets that you hold
Lift me up,
Lift me up and I'll fall with you lift me up
Let your love lift me up
I don't need your sacred vow
Or the promise tomorrow brings
Veiled behind the morning clouds
I'll take the fate the daylight brings
Lift me up, darling
Lift me up and I'll fall with you lift me up
Let your love lift me up
When the morning bright
Lifts away this night
In the light above
We will find our love, we will find our love
Your skin, your hand upon my neck
This skin, your fingers on my skin
This kiss, this heartbeat, this breath
This heart, this heart, this wilderness
Lift me up, darling
Lift me up and I'll fall with your lift me up
Let your love lift me up
Or the chains your lover wears
I don't need your rings of gold
Or the secrets that you hold
Lift me up,
Lift me up and I'll fall with you lift me up
Let your love lift me up
I don't need your sacred vow
Or the promise tomorrow brings
Veiled behind the morning clouds
I'll take the fate the daylight brings
Lift me up, darling
Lift me up and I'll fall with you lift me up
Let your love lift me up
When the morning bright
Lifts away this night
In the light above
We will find our love, we will find our love
Your skin, your hand upon my neck
This skin, your fingers on my skin
This kiss, this heartbeat, this breath
This heart, this heart, this wilderness
Lift me up, darling
Lift me up and I'll fall with your lift me up
Let your love lift me up

It's just so beautiful. Since my first Springsteen concert in 1988 at the age of 15, I've admired him (often at the amusement of my friends) for the emotions he stirs as an influential writer, musician, performer and as a supporter of human rights causes. Being female there is another obvious attraction, but it's the voice, the feeling and passion of his songs. Being a fan of gravelly-voiced singers, this ethereal song took me quite by surprise. His ability to maintain that high pitch is amazing and the song is so sorrowful yet incredibly uplifting as though you are floating on air. I think the lyric sounds like "I'll follow you" but "I'll fall with you" may be alluding to the rejection of tradition i.e. marriage in favour of a falling into a more 'sinful' life....just a thought :0)
