A Poem for Bono from my Sis

[jungleeyejoe]

This was written last Sept.

Manhatten Gray Eyes
(for Bono)

Open up your gray eyes
You know I don?t compromise
And I never explain
But I just can?t walk away
Without a word to say
Should we go or should we stay?

Gray eyes
Gray eyes gray as rain
Can you ever
Look out the window
Down to your City again?

They say that we are one
But with the fading sun

They?ll see the lights
Come on in their hometowns again.

Gray eyes
Gray eyes gray as rain
Can you ever
Walk the cavern streets
Of your own City again?

?The Irish been coming here?
They came to escape the fear
But now I hear
That same old song again.

Gray eyes
Gray eyes gray as rain
Can you ever
Sail the bright blue skies
Above your own City again?

Open up your gray eyes
You know that I don?t tell you lies
But now I?m not the same
Still I just can?t say good-bye
Without making one last try
Should we go or should we stay?

Gray eyes
Gray eyes gray as rain
Can you ever
Feel like you?re quite safe
In your own City again?

Roofshadow lover
Can you ever
Find a real true love
Down in your City again?

Does Bono still have a place in New York City?

I like this--- It's simple but good......

Open up your gray eyes
You know that I don?t tell you lies
But now I?m not the same
Still I just can?t say good-bye
Without making one last try
Should we go or should we stay?
