U2

[Verse 1]
And you know it's time to go
Through the sleet and driving snow
Across the fields of mourning
Lights in the distance

[Verse 2]
And you hunger for the time
Time to heal, desire time
And your earth moves beneath
Your own dream landscape

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
On borderland we run
I'll be there
I'll be there
Tonight, a high road
A high road out from here

[Verse 3]
The city walls are all gone down
The dust, a smokescreen all around
See faces ploughed like fields that once
Gave no resistance
See upcoming rock shows
Get tickets for your favorite artists

[Verse 4]
And we live by the side of the road
On the side of a hill as the valley explode
Dislocated, suffocated
The land grows weary of its own

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, some away, oh come away, oh come
Oh come away, say I
Oh come away, oh come away, oh come
Oh come away, say I

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
On borderland we run
And still we run
We run and don't look back
I'll be there
I'll be there
Tonight
Tonight

[Bridge]
I'll be there tonight
I believe
I'll be there, so high
I'll be there tonight
Tonight
Oh come away and say, you say, oh come
Oh come away, oh, you say

/ BONO

Glömmer aldrig när jag hörde "I Will Follow" första gången.
