Live 25 Jun 2006 version
| Bruce Springsteen: | We said we'd walk together, darling, come what may |
| And that come the twilight should we lose our way | |
| If as we're walking a hand should slip free | |
| I'll wait for you, and should I fall behind will you wait for me | |
| Patti Scialfa: | We swore we'd travel, darling, side by side |
| And we'd help each other stay in stride | |
| But each lovers steps fall so differently | |
| Wait for you, should I fall behind will you wait for me | |
| Springsteen and Scialfa: | Now everyone dreams of love lasting and true |
| But you and I know, this world can do | |
| So let's make our steps clear so the other may see | |
| Wait for you, and should I fall behind will you wait for me | |
| Bruce Springsteen: | There's a beautiful river in the valley ahead |
| And there 'neath the oaks bough soon we'll be wed | |
| Should we lose each other in the evening trees | |
| Springsteen and Scialfa: | Wait for you, should I fall behind will you wait for me |
| Wait for you, and should I fall behind will you wait for me | |
| Wait for you, and should I fall behind will you wait for me |
The above lyrics are for the live 25 Jun 2006 performance of IF I SHOULD FALL BEHIND at PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ, during The Seeger Sessions Tour. The song was played in a "waltz" arrangement, as a duet with Patti Scialfa.
Thanks Timmy Peterson (Terry at Greasy Lake) for this version's lyrics.
