Springsteen, Bruce - Leah Lyrics






I wanna build me a house, on higher ground
I wanna find me a world, where love's the only sound
High above this road, filled with shadow and doubt
I want to shoulder my load, and figure it all out
With Leah

I walk this road, with a hammer and a fiery lantern
With this hand I've built, and with this I've burned
I wanna live in the same house, beneath the same roof
Sleep in the same bed, search for the same proof
As Leah

I got somethin' in my heart, I been waitin' to give
I got a life I wanna start, one I been waitin' to live
No more waitin', tonight I feel the light I say the prayer
I open the door, I climb the stairs...

  6. B.... Y....

    One of his best...but I have at least 200 more I could say that about. However I do find that I love the acoustic and/or simpler songs like this album along with The Ghost of Tom Joad album and my fav Nebraska which has his best (see?) Highway Patrolman

    Favourite song from favourite Springsteen album. Brilliant.

  9. C.... B....

    hai la la la
    best album ever

    C.... B....

    Whuuut?! My best friend's last name is "Buhlmann". Are you from Sweden as well perhaps?

  10. S.... E....

    A strangely underrated album... admittedly, songs such as "Maria's Bed" and "All I'm Thinkin' About" are very unusual vocal performance for Bruce, but the depth he takes in digging into the American soul on this album is unbelievable. "Reno" and this are my favourites on the album (followed closely by "Matamoros Banks")

  11. t.... ....

    yet another hidden gem

  12. L.... G....

    Just checking this out for the first time........lovely, beautiful song!!! And, uploaded on my birth date to boot......how serendipitous is that? ;)

  13. R.... C....

    Can't believe how good this album is....even after over 10 years its still one of my go to albums and this is probably the best track on it.

  14. c.... ....

    astonishing song and album.

  15. J.... M....

    Love this song and album

    J.... M....

    Me too!

  16. j.... f....

    Love the Deep rich Tone of that Old J-45 he used on this recording

    j.... f....

    jimmy franklin what is that again?

  17. N.... G....

    (Sighing)

  18. l.... ....

    i just love this song , its way much much better than the roy orbinson Leah song ( I really hate that one ) thank you so much bruce for writing such a happy and romantic song about my name !!!

  19. S.... -....

    Wow, doesn't he sound like Bob?

    S.... -....

    I'm not at all sure I wish I knew your God. If you represent him at all, he would seem to be a spiteful, small-minded little troll. I think I'll stick with the Christian God, who loves everybody, and who hates nothing except self-righteousness and malice. "I have desired mercy, not sacrifice": have a think about that, please.

    S.... -....

    And that's it from me. I won't be saying more here. Have a good life. And do try and grow some intelligence, and some benevolence. Life is very short. There simply isn't time for childish cruelty.

    S.... -....

    @Sophie -Grace
    How am I being cruel?  I want people who need mental help to be able to get it.  I'm not looking for transgenders to be my next voter bloc like liberal/democrats by indulging them, as liberal/democrats do with every other minority group.  Hey, what's the first insult that people who supposedly care about transgenders make about Ann Coulter?  "ANN COULTER IS A TRANNY!!!"  amiright?

    S.... -....

    @TheGodYouWishYouKnew Yes, please explain. You see; I wasn't raised in a barn. A five year old boy has no business being in a ladies restroom that has multiple stalls. Women sometimes change their clothes in the restrooms. Same thing with mensrooms that have urinals. Now a private room that locks and people wait their turn that is a different matter. I NEVER used a bathroom if another person was in it.What God are you that i wish I knew?

    Absolutely love this song-simply beautiful....

  21. v.... ....

    He just killed his image for ignorant folks. Most real music fans know how great Bruce is.

  22. L.... S....

    this is my name :3

  23. R.... D....

    Gorgeous, gorgeous tune. Reminds me of you, Amanda.

  24. S.... T....

    such an under-appreciated singer/songwriter... wish he didn't have to kill his image with that early 80s pop crap he produced... this album brought him back to his roots. so good.

    S.... T....

    Hardly under appreciated. He's an absolute idol to millions

  25. I.... ....

    What makes me smile is that my name is Leah and this song makes me pretty happy when im sad :)

  26. M.... ....

    per iniziare un nuovo giorno....mi dedico questa...

  27. c.... u....

    My fever one

  28. f.... ....

    @johnnyM809

    best one, i agree

  29. S.... ....

    Mine's too!:D
