In God's Country — U2

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, yeah, yeah

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, yeah

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
