Yeah, desert sky
Dream beneath the 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

I can't believe that no one has comment on this song. It has always been one of my favorite songs from U2. I like the beat of this song! God bless all those who listen.

I couldn't agree more...I live in the Southwest and the imagery of 'The Joshua Tree' really hits home...beautiful music and lyrics, almost like a Ennio Moricone's Spaghetti Western soundtracks.
