This is real poetry :) Always

[bono-vox]

This song is real poetry, was listening to it today and heh the lyrics in it are the reason for this forums name

Always
Here today
And gone tomorrow
Crack the bone, get to the marrow
To be the bee
And the flower
Before the sweetness turns to sour


What we have we're gonna keep...Always
What we've lost we don't need...Always
What is it that won't let you sleep...Always


Be the arrow
And the target
Put your head over the parapet
Be uncool
Yes, be awkward
And don't look in the obvious place
The soul needs beauty for a soul mate


Get down off your holy cloud...Always
God will not deal with the proud...Always
Well if you dream then dream out loud...Always
Eternally yours...Always


I want you
I want you
I want you


Touching the other side
I wanted to be in love
I wanted to call

You say come to know yourself...Always
Don't find yourself in someone else...Always
And always wear a safety belt...Always
Wait for me I'm running late...Always
This is the moment that we share...For always
Turn each song into a prayer...Always


Now and forever
For always
For always
For always
For always

L'amore giunger
L'amore
E non so pi pregare
E nell'amore non so pi sperare
E quell'amore non so pi aspettare

But you don't know the half of it..."

she's gonna dream up the world she wants to live in
she's gonna dream out loud,
dream out loud......

Poetry is a tricky thing. I'm not even sure what it is, are you? It's certainly not (necessarily) the same thing as song lyrics that happen to be very good. And by that I do not mean that song lyrics are inferior, just that without the song, they are somewhat legless.
