One Tree Hill

One Tree Hill_U2

 

We turn away to face the cold, enduring chill

As the day begs the night for mercy love

The 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 river, on like a 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
