A Sort of Homecoming
 
 

     And you know it's time to go
     Through the sleet and driving snow
     Across the fields of mourning
     Light in the distance

     And you hunger for the time
     Time to heal, desire, time
     And your earth moves beneath
     Your own dream landscape

     Oh, oh, oh...
     On borderland we run...

     I'll be there
     I'll be there...
     Tonight
     A high road
     A high road out from here

     The city walls are all come down
     The dust, a smoke screen all around
     See faces ploughed like fields that once
     Gave no resistance

     And we live by the side of the road
     On the side of a hill
     As the valley explode
     Dislocated, suffocated
     The land grows weary of its own

     Oh, oh, oh... on borderland we run...
     And still we run
     We run and don't look back
     I'll be there
     I'll be there
     Tonight
     Tonight

     I'll be there tonight... I believe
     I'll be there... somehow
     I'll be there... tonight
     Tonight

     The wind will crack in winter time
     This bomb-blast lightning waltz
     No spoken words, just a scream...

     Tonight we'll build a bridge
     Across the sea and land
     See the sky, the burning rain
     She will die and live again
     Tonight

     And your heart beats so slow
     Through the rain and fallen snow
     Across the fields of mourning
     Light's in the distance

     Oh don't sorrow, no don't weep
     For tonight, at last
     I am coming home
     I am coming home
 

 
 
Pride (In the Name of Love)
 
 

     One man come in the name of love
     One man come and go
     One man come, he to justify
     One man to overthrow

     In the name of love
     What more in the name of love
     In the name of love
     What more in the name of love

     One man caught on a barbed wire fence
     One man he resist
     One man washed on an empty beach.
     One man betrayed with a kiss

     In the name of love
     What more in the name of love
     In the name of love
     What more in the name of love

     (Nobody like you...)

     Early morning, April 4
     Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
     Free at last, they took your life
     They could not take your pride

     In the name of love
     What more in the name of love
     In the name of love
     What more in the name of love
     In the name of love
     What more in the name of love...
 

 
 
Wire
 
 

     Innocent, and in a sense I am
     Guilty of the crime that's now in hand
     Such a nice day
     Throw your life away
     Such a nice day
     Let it go

     Cold these eyes, I can't believe it
     Cold, this heart is slow
     Heart is slow

     Call me
     Such a cold heart
     Such a cold man
     Watch you tear your self apart

     So lay me down
     My soul to give
     So lay me down
     The longest sleep
     Oh, the longest sleep

     In I come and out you go you get
     Here we are again now, place your bets
     Is this the time
     The time to win or lose
     Is this the time
     The time to choose

     Cold these eyes, I can't believe it
     So deep inside a cold fire
     Cold, this heart is slow...

     Any time you're on there
     (Kiss me...)
     Won't you do it now
     That's right, just keep me going

     In some white track
     You come the right track
     Cartoon cutout
     Cut throat let out
     I'm on your side
     Be on the both side
     I'm alright Jack
     You get off my back
     I'm no dope
     I give you hope
     Here's the rope
     Here's the rope
     Now... swing away
 

 
 
The Unforgettable Fire
 
 

     Ice
     Your only rivers run cold
     These city lights
     They shine as silver and gold
     Dug from the night
     Your eyes as black as coal

     Walk on by
     Walk on through
     Walk 'til you run
     And don't look back
     For here I am

     Carnival
     The wheels fly and the colors spin
     Through alcohol
     Red wine that punctures the skin
     Face to face
     In a dry and waterless place

     Walk on by
     Walk on through
     So sad to beseige your love so head on
     Stay this time
     Stay tonight in a lie
     I'm only asking but I...
     I think you know
     Come on take me away
     Come on take me away
     Come on take me home
     Home again

     And if the mountain should crumble
     Or disappear into the sea
     Not a tear, no not I

     Stay in this time
     Stay tonight in...
     Ever after, this love in time
     And if you save your love
     Save it all

     Don't push me too far
     Don't push me too far
     Tonight
     Tonight
     Tonight...
 

 

Promenade
 
 

     Earth sky sea and rain
     Is she coming back again
     Men of straw, snooker hall
     Words that build or destroy
     Dirt dry bone sand and stone
     Barbed-wire fence cut me down
     I'd like to be around
     In a spiral staircase
     To the higher ground

     And I, like a firework, explode
     Roman candle lightning lights up the sky

     In the cracked streets trampled under foot
     Sidestep, sidewalk
     I see you stare into space
     Have I got closer now
     Behind the face

     Oh... tell me...
     Charity dance with me
     Turn me around tonight
     Up through spiral staircase
     To the higher ground

     Slide show sea side town
     Coca-Cola, football radio radio radio
     Radio radio radio...

Bad
 
 

     If you twist and turn away
     If you tear yourself in two again
     If I could, yes I would
     If I could, I would
     Let it go
     Surrender
     Dislocate

     If I could throw this
     Lifeless lifeline to the wind
     Leave this heart of clay
     See you walk, walk away
     Into the night
     And through the rain
     Into the half-light
     And through the flame

     If I could through myself
     Set your spirit free
     I'd lead your heart away
     See you break, break away
     Into the light
     And to the day

     To let it go
     And so to fade away
     To let it go
     And so fade away

     I'm wide awake
     I'm wide awake
     Wide awake
     I'm not sleeping
     Oh, no, no, no

     If you should ask then maybe they'd
     Tell you what I would say
     True colors fly in blue and black
     Bruised silken sky and burning flag
     Colors crash, collide in blood shot eyes

     If I could, you know I would
     If I could, I would
     Let it go...

     This desparation
     Dislocation
     Separation
     Condemnation
     Revelation
     In temptation
     Isolation
     Desolation
     Let it go

     And so fade away
     To let it go
     And so fade away
     To let it go
     And so to fade away

     I'm wide awake
     I'm wide awake
     Wide awake
     I'm not sleeping
     Oh, no, no, no
 

 
 
Indian Summer Sky
 
 

     In the ocean
     Cut, swim, deep the sky
     Like there, I don't know why
     In the forest, there's a clearing
     I run there towards the light
     Sky...
     It's a blue sky

     In the earth a hole dig deep, decide
     If I could, I would
     Up for air to swim against the tide
     Hey, hey, hey
     Up toward the sky
     It's a blue sky

     To lose along the way
     The spark that set the flame
     To flicker and to fade
     On this the longest day

     So wind blow through to my heart
     So wind blow through my soul
     So wind blow through to my heart
     So wind blow through my soul
     So wind blow through to my heart...

     You give yourself to this the longest day
     You give yourself, you give it all away

     Two rivers run too deep
     The seasons change and so do I
     The light that strikes the tallest trees
     Will light a way for I
     Will light a way
     Up toward the sky
     It's a blue sky

     To lose along the way
     The spark that set the flame
     To flicker and to fade
     On this the longest day

     So wind go through to my heart
     So wind blow through my soul
     So wind go through to my heart
     So wind blow through my soul
     So wind go through to my heart
     So wind blow through my soul
     So wind go through to my heart...

     You give yourself to this the longest day
     You give yourself, you give it all away

     (Black flash)
     Black flash over my own love
     Tell me of my eyes
     Black flash come though my own life
     Telling these things
     And I believe them
     And I believe in you

     White flash sees the sky
     And it turns its side from you
     She won't turn my back
     And I know you turn so blue
     And you know
     And your sky is feeling blue
     And your heart
     So cold when I'm with you
     And you feel
     Like no one told you to
     And your time is your side
     And your time with me
     Ah, don't talk to me
     Ah, don't talk to me
     Don't talk to me

     You know
     Like no one told you how
     But you know
     Though the king that howls has howled
     But you feel like sentimental
     But you don't care
     If I just share it in your heart
     (Heart...)

     Hopelessly
     So hopelessly
     I'm breaking through for you and me
     And you don't
     Though no one told you to
     And you found out
     Where you were going, where to
     You're through with me
     But I know that you will be back
     For more

     And you know
     And though no one told you so
     And you know, blue sky
     Like a harder shade of blue
     And you walk
     When you want
     To let go
     Me, I'm the outside, tell me fade away
     Drop me down but don't break me
     In your sleep

     In your sleep, inside
     It's in your heart and mine
     Whole sea is dark
     It's in your heart and mine

     Sweetly, those will come
     Loving is on your side walking through
     So let me in your heart
     Your beat is like something...

     They...
     Run...
     See say you're sad and reach by
     So say you're sad above beside
     Oh stay sad above beside
     So stay sad above we said

     You know I don't
     No one told you how
     (And you don't)
     (And you wipe sweat off your white brow)
     And you care
     And no one told you tried
     And your heart
     Is left out from the side

     And the rain beats down
     And the shame goes down
     And this rain keeps on coming down
     And this sky
     Tonight...

     You know "S" "O" "N" "G", why
     You're going go join to God
     You know "S" "O" "N" "G", why
     Give away some him no lie
     Give away some my de day no

     You know
     And though no one told you sky
     And you feel
     Like you pretend you can
     You say go, you live
     Go live outside of me
     Don't you leave
     Don't leave out part of me
     Then I can feel
     Like I feel before
     Like I hurt now
     And I see the floor
     If you pick me up
     Bits and pieces on this floor

     Sleep
     Sleep tonight
     And may your dreams
     Be realized
     If the thunder cloud
     Passes rain
     So let it rain
     Rain down on him
     So let it be
     So let it be

     Sleep
     Sleep tonight
     And may your dreams
     Be realized
     If the thundercloud
     Passes rain
     So let it rain
     Let it rain
     Rain on him
