U 2 - One Tree Hill lyrics

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
