U2 - One Tree Hill lyrics

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

We run like a river

Run to the sea

We run like a river to the sea

And when it's raining

Raining hard

That's when the rain will

Break my heart

Raining... raining in the heart

Raining in your heart

Raining... raining to your heart

Raining, raining... raining

Raining to your heart

Raining... raining in your heart

Raining in your heart..

To the sea

Oh great ocean

Oh great sea

Run to the ocean

Run to the sea
