U2  (The Joshua Tree)

One Tree Hill

We turn away to face the cold, enduring chill


As the day begs the night for mercy, love.

A sun so bright it leaves no shadows


Only scars carved into stone on the face of earth.

The moon is up and over One Tree Hill


We see the sun go down in your eyes.

You run like a river on to the sea


You run like a river runs to the sea.

And in the world, a heart of darkness, a fire-zone


Where poets speak their heart then bleed for it

Jara sang, his song a weapon in the hands of love.


You know his blood still cries from the ground.

It runs like a river runs to the sea.


It runs like a river to the sea.

I don’t believe in painted roses or bleeding hearts


While bullets rape the night of the merciful.

I’ll see you again when the stars fall from the sky


And the moon has turned red over One Tree Hill.

We run like a river runs to the sea


We run like a river to the sea.

And when it’s rainin’, rainin’ hard


That’s when the rain will break a heart.

Rainin’, rainin’ in your heart


Rainin’ in your heart.


Rainin’, rain into your heart


Rainin’, rainin’, rainin’


Rain into your heart.


Rainin’, ooh, rain in your heart, yeah.


Feel it.

Oh great ocean


Oh great sea


Run to the ocean


Run to the sea.
