Lyrics: In God’s Country
Album: The Joshua Tree
Artist: U2
 

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
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
