A song from the JT period.
?fields of flame I ran with you? reminds me of Still Haven?t Found (along with the lines ?I held on to you, you held on to no one. I followed you 'til you were out of sight.?)
?And felt the pain as the bullets took the night? reminds me of One Tree Hill (?While bullets rape the night of the merciful?) and Bullet too.
?as the storm of rage came down. the raging moon burning in the sun? also remind me of Bullet (?In the howling wind comes a stinging rain. In the locust wind. See the rain pour through the gaping wound.?)
Possibly Purple Heart could fit in a ?Central and South America section? on JT?

Written by Bono and T-Bone Burnett ? Produced by Bono ? sung by T-Bone Burnett - the last minute of song features a powerful wailing by Bono
Through the fields of flame I ran with you
Every blow you took I took with you
I lied for you when you moved underground
And covered you as the storm of rage came down
But I will not wear you like a purple heart
I will not wear you like a purple heart
To the raging moon burning in the sun
I held on to you, you held on to no one
I followed you 'til you were out of sight
And felt the pain as the bullets took the night
But I will not wear you like a purple heart
I will not wear you like a purple heart
[Repeats, then Bono starts screaming in background]
