U2 - Cedars of Lebanon

★ 活在當下 制作

Yesterday I spent asleep

Woke up in my clothes in a dirty heap

Spent the night tryin to make a deadline

Squeezin complicated lives into a simple headline

I have your face in an old Polaroid

Tidyin the childrens clothes and toys

You smilin back at me I took the photo from the fridge

Cant remember what Emily did

Havent been with a woman, it feels like, for years

Thought of you the whole time, your salty tears

This shitty world sometimes produces a rose

The scent of it lingers but then it just goes

Return the call to home

The worst of us are a long drawn-out confession

The best of us are geniuses of compression

You say youre not gonna leave the truth alone

Im here cause I dont wanna go home

Child drinkin dirty water from a riverbank

Soldier brings oranges he got out from a tank

Waitin on the waiter, hes takin a while to come

Watchin the sun go down on Lebanon

Return the call to home

I got a head like a lit cigarette

Unholy clouds reflect in a minaret

So high above me, higher than everyone

Where are you in the cedars of Lebanon?

Choose your enemies carefully, cause they will define you

Make them interesting cause in some ways they will mind you

Theyre not there in the beginning but when your story ends

Gonna last with you longer than your friend
