In God's Country Lyrics

U2

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.
