Springsteen 9/11 Songs III Paradise

http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/brucespringsteen/paradise.html

"Where the river runs to black
I take the schoolbooks from your pack
Plastics, wire and your kiss
The breath of eternity on your lips

In the crowded marketplace
I drift from face to face
I hold my breath and close my eyes
I hold my breath and close my eyes
And I wait for paradise
..."

Eerie...not written by Springsteen, but tells the story from a bombers perspective...?
Expects to find a loved one in paradise, but only finds emptiness...
