Hey everyone! I just wanted to tell you about this and see what you guys thought of it. I've started to listen to my favorite U2 songs and while listening to them I write the lyrics in 'story form'. I did it with One Tree Hill, tell me what you think:
You turn away to face the cold, enduring chill. As the day begs the night for mercy, love. Your sun’s so bright it leaves no shadows, only scars. Carved into stone on the face of earth. The Moon is up, over One Tree Hill. We see the sun go down in your eyes.
“You run like a river, on like a sea.”
“You run like a river runs to sea.”
And in the world a heart of darkness, a fire zone. Where poets speak their hearts…then bleed for it. Jara sang - his song a weapon. In the hands of one, whose 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 runs 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 the heart.”
“Oh great ocean.
Oh great sea.
Run to the ocean.
Run to the sea.”
