RESTLESS NIGHTS

Outtake 2

Wished we ran and lived as one
In another world my little one
Where strange trees and dark rivers run
I told a dream to you

Now outside the streets of pain
And the childhood games we play
Have faded away

But my baby, she has restless night
She has restless night
My baby, she has restless nights

On late night movie screens
Young lovers look so sure
Lost in wide awake dreams
That they can't afford

Once I held you in my arms
On a bed of stone
Now we have grown (but darling)

But my baby, she has restless night
She has restless night
My baby, she has restless nights

Wished we ran and lived as one
A different world my little one
Where strange trees and dark rivers run
I told a dream to you

Now outside the streets of pain
But here inside my heart
It all falls apart

But my baby, she has restless night
She has restless night
My baby, she has restless nights

But my baby, she has restless night
She has restless night
My baby, she has restless nights

Liner notes from the One Step Up / Two Steps Back: The Songs Of Bruce Springsteen tribute booklet:

When preparing the first of our four albums, we were strongly influenced by Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band. We discovered "Restless Nights" among many other unpublished gems. We fell in love with that song and we still love it. Bruce himself was very surprised when, after a good swim in a hotel in Rome (it was 1988 the "Tunnel Of Love" tour has just hit Italy), we gave him our album.
