"In God's Country"

from The Joshua Tree

Desert sky / Dream beneath a desert sky / The rivers run / But soon will dry / We need new dreams tonight / Desert rose / Dreamed I saw a desert rose / Dress torn in ribbons / And in bows / Like a siren she calls (to me) / Sleep comes like a drug... In God's Country / Sad eyes crooked crosses... In God's Country / Set me alight / We'll punch a hole right through the night / Everyday the dreamers die / To see wha'ts on the other side / She is liberty / And she comes to rescue me / hope faith, her vanity / The greatest gift is gold / Sleep comes like a drug... In God's Country / Sad eye crooked crosses... In God's Country

Naked flame / She stands with a naked flame / I stand with the sons of Cain / Burned by the fire of love / Burned by the fire of love
