U2 - No Line On The Horizon

Where I grew up there were no hills at all

The land was flat, the highway straight and wide

My brother and I, we’d drive for hours,

like we’d years instead of days

Our faces as pale as the dirty snow

Once I knew there was a love divine

Then came a time I thought it knew me not

Who can forgive forgiveness when forgiveness is not?

Only the land as white as snow

And the water it was icy

As it washed over me

And the moon shined above me

Now this dry ground it bears no fruit at all

Only ... laugh under a crescent moon

The road refuses strangers

The land, the seeds we sow

Where might we find a land as white as snow?

As boys we would go hunting in the wood

To sleep, the night shun out the stars

Now the wolves are every passing stranger

Every face we cannot know

If only a heart could be as white as snow

If only a heart could be as white as snow

End
