U2 - In God's Country
from the album "The Joshua Tree"
Desert Sky
Dream beneath the desert sky
The rivers run
But soon run dry
We need new dreams tonight
Desert rose
Dreamed I saw a desert rose
Dress torn in ribbons
And in bows
Like a siren she calls
Sleep comes like a drug in God’s country
Sad eyes crooked crosses in God’s country
Set me alight
We’ll punch a hole right through the night
Everyday the dreamers die
To see what’ on the other side
She is Liberty
And she comes to rescue me
Hope faith, her vanity
The greatest gift is gold
She comes like a drug in God’s country
Sad eyes crooked crosses in God’s country
Naked flame
She stands with a naked flame
I stand with the sons of Cain
Burned by the fire of love
Burned by the fire of love
