Cautious Man

Текст песни Bruce Springsteen - Cautious Man <br/> Bill Horton was a cautious man of the road<br />He walked lookin&#039; over his shoulder and remained faithful to its code<br />When something caught his eye he&#039;d measure his need<br />And then very carefully he&#039;d proceed<br /><br />Billy met a young girl in the early days of May<br />It was there in her arms he let his cautiousness slip away<br />( )<br />In their lovers twilight as the evening sky grew dim<br />He&#039;d lay back in her arms and laugh at what had happened to him<br /><br />On his right hand Billy tattooed the word love and on his left hand was the word<br />fear<br />And in which hand he held his fate was never clear<br />Come Indian summer he took his young lover for his bride<br />And with his own hands built a great house down by the riverside<br /><br />Now Billy was an honest man he wanted to do what was right<br />He worked hard to fill their lives with happy days and loving nights<br />Alone on his knees in the darkness for steadiness he&#039;d pray<br />For he knew in a restless heart the seed of betrayal lay<br /><br />One night Billy awoke from a terrible dream callin&#039; his wife&#039;s name<br />She lay breathing beside him in a peaceful sleep, a thousand miles away<br />He got dressed in the moonlight and down to the highway he strode<br />When he got there he didn&#039;t find nothing but road<br /><br />Billy felt a coldness rise up inside him that he couldn&#039;t name<br />Just as the words tattooed &#039;cross his knuckles he knew would always remain<br />At their bedside he brushed the hair from his wife&#039;s face as the moon shone on<br />her skin so white
