U2 - Exit
from the album "The Joshua Tree"

You know he got the cure, but then he went astray
He used to stay awake
To drive the dreams he had away
He wanted to believe
In the hands of love

His head it felt heavy
And he cut across the land
A dog started crying
Like a broken hearted man
At the howling wind
The howling wind

He went deeper into black
Deeper into white, he could see
The stars shine
Like nails in the night
He felt the healing
Healing, healing, healing
Hands of love
Like the stars shiny, shiny
From above

He put his hands in the pocket
His finger on the steel
The pistol weighed heavy
His heart he could feel
Was beating, beating
Beating, beating, oh my love
Oh my love, oh my love
Oh my love

He saw the hands that build
Could also pull down
The hands of love
