"One Tree Hill"

from The Joshua Tree

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 firezone 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
