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
 
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...
 
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...

anytime you're only a kiss away
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 bled 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
 
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...
 
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...
 
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 desperation
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
 
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
 
I want to run
i want to hide
i want to tear down the walls
that hold me inside
i want to reach out
and touch the flame
where the streets have no name
i want to feel, sunlight on my face
see that dust cloud disappear without a trace
i want to take shelter from the poison rain
where the streets have no name
where the streets have no name
where the streets have no name
we're still building
then burning down love, burning down love
and when i go there
i go there with you...
(it's all i can do)
the cities a flood
and our love turns to rust
we're beaten and blown by the wind
trampled into dust
i'll show you a place
high on ta desert plain
where the streets have no name
where the streets have no name
where the streets have no name
still building
then burning down love
burning down love
and when i go there
i go there with you
(it's all i can do)
 
I have climbed highest mountain
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you


I have run
I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you


But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for


I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire


I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone


But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for


I believe in the kingdom come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
Well yes I'm still running


You broke the bonds and you
Loosed the chains
Carried the cross
Of my shame
Of my shame
You know I believed it


But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for...
 
See the stone set in your eyes
see the thorn twist in your side
i wait for you
sleight of hand and twist of fate
on a bed of nails she makes me wait
and i wait....without you
With or without you
with or without you
Through the storm we reach the shore
you give it all but i want more
and i'm waiting for you
With or without you
with or without you
i can't live
with or without you
And you give yourself away
and you give yourself away
and you give
and you give
and you give yourself away
My hands are tied
my body bruised, she's got me with
nothing left to win
and nothing else to lose
With or without you
with or without you
i can't live
with or without you
 
In the howling wind comes a stinging rain
see it driving nails
into the souls on the tree of pain
from the firefly, a red orange glow
see the face of fear
running scared in the valley below

bullet the blue sky
bullet the blue sky
bullet the blue
bullet the blue

in the locust wind comes a rattle and hum
jacob wrestled the angel
and the angel was overcome
you plant a demon seed
you raise a flower of fire
see them burning crosses
see the flames higher and higher

bullet the blue sky
bullet the blue sky
bullet the blue
bullet the blue

this guy comes up to me
his face red like a rose on a thorn bush
like all the colors of a royal flush
and he's peeling off those dollar bills
slapping them down
one hundred, two hundred
and i can see those fighter planes
and i can see those fighter planes
across the mud huts where the children sleep
through the alleys of a quiet city street
you take the staircase to the first floor
turn the key and slowly unlock the door
as a man breathes into a saxophone
and through the walls you hear the city groan
outside is america
outside is america

across the field you see the sky ripped open
see the rain through a gaping wound
pounding on the women and children
who run
into the arms
of america
 
And so she woke up
woke up from where she was
lying still
said i gotta do something
about where we're going

step on a steam train
step out of the driving rain, maybe
run from the darkness in the night
singing ha, ah la la la de day
ah da da da de day
ah la la de day

sweet the sin
bitter taste in my mouth
i see seven towers
but i only see one way out

you got to cry without weeping
talk without speaking
scream without raising your voice

you know i took the poison
from the poison stream
then i floated out of here
singing...ha la la la de day
ha la la la de day
ha la la de day

she runs through the streets
with her eyes painted red
under black belly of cloud in the rain
in through a doorway she brings me
white gold and pearls stolen from the sea
she is raging
she is raging
and the storm blows up in her eyes
she will...

suffer the needle chill
she's running to stand...

still.
 
From father to son
the blood runs thin
see faces frozen still
against the wind

the seam is split
the coal face cracked
the lines are long
there's no going back
through hands of steel
and heart of stone
our labour day
has come and gone

yeah you leave me holding on
in red hill town
see lights go down, i'm...

hanging on
you're all that's left to hold on to
i'm still waiting
i'm hanging on
you're all that's left to hold on to

the glass is cut
the bottle run dry
our love runs cold
in the caverns of the night
we're wounded by fear
injured in doubt
i can lose myself
you i can't live without

yeah you keep me holding on
in red hill town
see the lights go down on
i'm hanging on
you're all that's left to hold on to
i'm still waiting
hanging on
you're all that's left to hold on to
hold on to

we'll scorch the earth
set fire to the sky
we stoop so low to reach so high
a link is lost
the chain undone
we wait all day
for night to come
and it comes
like a hunter child

i'm hanging on
you're all that's left to hold on to
i'm still waiting
i'm hanging on
you're all that's left to hold on to

love...slowly stripped away
love...has seen its better day

hanging on
the lights go out on red hill
the lights go down on red hill
lights go down on red hill town
the lights go down on red hill
 
Yeah

Desert sky
Dream beneath a desert sky
The rivers run but soon run 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
See what's 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 eyes 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
 
In the distance
she saw me coming 'round
i was calling out
i was calling out

still shaking
still in pain
you put me back together again
i was cold and you clothed me honey
i was down and you lifted me honey

angel
angel or devil
i was thirsty
and you wet my lips

you, i'm waiting for you
you, you set my desire
i trip through your wires

i was broken, bent out of shape
i was naked in the clothes you made
lips were dry, throat like rust
you gave me shelter from the heat and the dust
no more water in the well
no more water, water

angel
angel or devil
i was thirsty
and you wet my lips

you, i'm waiting for you
you, you set my desire
i trip through your wires

(all i need...all i need)

thunder, thunder on the mountain
there's a rain cloud in the desert sky
in the distance she saw me coming 'round
i was calling out
i was calling out
 
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
 
You know he got the cure
you know he went astray
he used to stay awake
to drive the dreams he had away
he wanted to believe
in the hands of love

his head it felt heavy
as he cut across the land
a dog started crying
like a broken hearted man
at the howling wind
at the howling wind

he went deeper into black
deeper into white
could see the stars shining
like nails in the night
he felt the healing
healing, healing
healing hands of love
like the stars shiny shiny
from above

hand in the pocket
finger on the steel
the pistol weighed heavy
his heart he could feel
was beating, beating
beating, beating oh my love
oh my love, oh my love
oh my love

my love

saw the hands that build
can also pull down

the hands of love
