Lyrics Bruce Springsteen – Frankie

Dark weekends in the sun out on Chelsea Road
Descending the stairs, ah Frankie, my one
Check your makeup in the mirror, c’mon babe let’s go
We’ll dance ’round this dirty town till the night is all done

Well everybody’s dying, this town’s closing down
They’re all sittin’ down at the courthouse waiting for ’em to take the flag down
I see strange flashes in the sky up above
Gonna spend the night at the drive-in with the one that I love
At dusk the stars all appear on the screen
Yeah, just like they do each night in my dreams
But tonight’s no dream, Frankie, I can feel myself too
Well now and forever, baby, my love is for you

Here we go! Here!
Walk softly tonight, little stranger
Yeah into these shadows we’re passing through
Talk softly tonight, little angel
You make all my dream worlds come true
Whoa!

Well lately I’ve been standing out in the freezing rain
Readin’ them «want» ads out on Chelsea Road
I’m winging down the street in search of new games
Hustling through these nightlights’ diamond glow
Well Frankie I don’t know what I’m gonna find
Maybe nothing at all, maybe a world I can call mine
Shining like these streetlights down here on the strand
Bright as the rain in the palm of your hand

Walk softly tonight, little stranger
