One Tree Hill - U2
We turn away to face the cold
enduring chill
As the day begs the night for mercy
Your sun so bright it leaves no shadow
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 ran like river to the sea
And in our world a heart of darkness
a firezone
Where poets speak their hearts
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 to the sea
I don't believe in painted roses or bleeding hearts
While bullets rape the night of merciful
I'll see you again when the stars fall from the sky
And the moon has turned red over One Tree Hill
Like a river to the sea
