| And you know it's time to go
Through the sleet and driving snow Across the fields of mourning to A light that's in the distance And you hunger for the time Time to heal, 'desire' time And your earth moves beneath Your own dream landscape. On borderland we run. I'll be there, I'll be there tonight A high-road, a high-road out from here. The city walls are all come down The dust a smoke screen all around See faces ploughed like fields that once Gave no resistance. And we live by the side of the road On the side of a hill as the valleys explode Dislocated, suffocated The land grows weary of its own. O com-away, o com-away, o-com, o com-away, I say I O com-away, o com-away, o-com, o com-away, I say I 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 I’ll be there tonight, I believe I’ll be there so high I’ll be there tonight, tonight. Oh com-away, I say, o com-away, I say I. The wind will crack in wintertime This bomb-blast lightning waltz. No spoken words, just a scream Tonight we'll build a bridge Across the sea and land See the sky, the burning rain She will die and live again tonight And your heart beats so slow Through the rain and fallen snow Across the fields of mourning To a light that's in the distance Oh, don't sorrow, no don't weep For tonight at last I am coming home I am coming home |

| One man come in the name of love
One man come and go One man come he to justify One man to overthrow In the name of love What more in the name of love In the name of love What more in the name of love One man caught on a barbed wire fence One man he resist One man washed up on an empty beach One man betrayed with a kiss In the name of love What more in the name of love In the name of love What more in the name of love Early morning, April four Shot rings out in the Memphis sky Free at last, they took your life They could not take your pride In the name of love What more in the name of love In the name of love What more in the name of love |

| Innocent, and in a sense I am
Guilty of a crime that's now in hand Such a nice day to throw your life away Such a nice day, to let it go Cold in his eyes, I can't believe it Cold, in his heart and slow Heart and soul Cold man, such a cold heart Such a cold man I watch you tear yourself apart So lay me down, my soul to keep So lay me down, the longest sleep Oh, the longest sleep In I come and out you go you get Here we are again, now place your bets Is this the time The time to win or lose? Is this the time The time to choose? Cold in his eyes, I can't believe it So deep inside a cold fire Cold in his heart and soul Don't do it, d-d-don't do it Don't do it, d-d-don't do it Anytime you're on the earth… Is kissing time You can't take me, that's right but you can keep me going It's so white trash if you've got the cash. A cartoon cut out, A cut-throat let out Look I'm on your side, We're both right. Hey, I'm alright Jack, Just don't piggyback I'm no dope, I'll give you hope Here's the rope Here's the rope… Now swing on it |

| The Unforgettable Fire | L'indimenticabile fuoco |
| Ice
Your only rivers run cold These city lights They shine as silver and gold Dug from the night Your eyes as black as coal Walk on by Walk on through Walk til you run And don't look back For here I am Carnival The wheels fly and the colors spin Through alcohol Red wine that punctures the skin Face to face In a dry and waterless place Walk on by Walk on through So sad to besiege your love… oh hang on. Stay this time Stay tonight in a lie I'm only asking but I I think you know Come on take me away Come on take me away Come on take me home Home again And if the mountain should crumble Or disappear into the sea Not a tear, no not I Stay in this time Stay tonight in... Ever after, this love in time And if you save your love Save it all Don't push me too far Don't push me too far Tonight Tonight Tonight |

| Earth sky, scenery
Is she coming back again? Men of straw, snooker hall. Words that build or destroy Dirt dry, bone, sand and stone, Barbed-wire fence cut me down, I'd like to be around In a spiral staircase To the higher ground. And I, like a firework, explode. Roman candle, lightning, lights up the sky. In the cracked streets, trample underfoot. Side-step, sidewalk. I see you stare into space. Have I got closer now Behind the face ? Oh, tell me, Cherry you dance with me Turn me around tonight Up through the spiral staircase To the higher ground. Slide show ,sea side town. Coca-Cola, football radio radio radio radio radio radio |

| If you twist and turn away
It you tear yourself in two again If I could, yes I would If I could, I would let it go Surrender, dislocate If I could throw this Lifeless life-line to the wind Leave this heart of clay, See you walk, walk away Into the night, and through the rain Into the half light and through the flame If I could, through myself, set your spirit free I'd lead your heart away, see you break, break away Into the light and to the day. To let it go and so to find a way To let it go and so find a way I'm wide awake I'm wide awake, wide awake I'm not sleeping If you should ask, then maybe They'd tell you what I would say True colours fly in blue and black Blue silken sky and burning flag. Colours crash, collide in blood-shot eyes If I could, you know I would If I could, I would let it go This desperation, dislocation Separation, condemnation Revelation, in temptation Isolation, desolation Let it go and so to find a way To let it go and so to find a way To let it go and so to find a way I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake, wide awake I'm not sleeping Oh no, no, no |

| Indian Summer Sky | Cielo di un'estate indiana |
| In the ocean cuts ring deep, the sky.
Like there, I don't know why. In the forest, there's a clearing I run there towards the light. Sky, it's a blue sky In the earth the hole deep, deep, decide If I could, I would. Up for air to swim against the tide Hey, hey, hey Up toward the sky. It's a blue sky. To lose along the way The spark that set the flame To flicker and to fade On this the longest day So wind go through to my heart So wind blow through my soul So wind go through to my heart So wind blow through my soul So wind go through to my heart You give yourself to this the longest day. You give yourself, you give it all away. Two rivers run too deep The seasons change and so do I The light that strikes the tallest trees The light away for I The light away Up toward the sky It's a blue sky To lose along the way The spark that set the flame To flicker and to fade On this the longest day So wind go through to my heart So wind blow through my soul So wind go through to my heart So wind blow through my soul So wind go through to my heart So wind blow through my soul So wind go through to my heart You give yourself to this the longest day You give yourself, you give it all away |

| (Black flash)
Black flash over my own love Tell me of my eyes Black flash come though my own life Telling these things And I believe them And I believe in you White flash sees the sky And it turns its side from you She won't turn my back And I know you turn so blue And you know And your sky is feeling blue And your heart So cold when I'm with you And you feel Like no one told you to And your time is your side And your time with me Ah, don't talk to me Ah, don't talk to me Don't talk to me You know Like no one told you how But you know Though the king that howls has howled But you feel like sentimental But you don't care If I just share it in your heart (heart...) Hopelessly So hopelessly I'm breaking through for you and me And you don't Though no one told you to And you found out Where you were going, where to You're through with me But I know that you will be back For more You know And though no one told you so And you know, blue sky Like a harder shade of blue And you walk When you want To let go Me, I'm the outside, tell me fade away Drop me down but don't break me In your sleep In your sleep, inside It's in your heart and mine Whole sea is dark It's in your heart and mine Sweetly, those will come Loving is on your side walking through So let me in your heart Your beat is like something... They... Run... See say you're sad and reach by So say you're sad above beside Oh stay you're sad over midnight So stay sad above we said You know I don't No one told you how (and you don't) (and you wipe sweat off your white brow) And you care And no one told you tried And your heart Is left out from the side And the rain beats down And the shame goes down And this rain keeps on coming down And this sky Tonight... You know "S" "O" "N" "G", why You're going go join to God You know "S" "O" "N" "G", why Give away some him no lie Give away some my de day no You know And though no one told you sky And you feel Like you pretend you can You say go, you live Go live outside of me Don't you leave Don't leave out part of me Then can feel Like I feel before Like I hurt now And I see the floor If you pick me up Bits and pieces on this floor |

| Sleep, sleep tonight
And may your dreams be realized. If the thunder cloud passes rain So let it rain, rain down on he. So let it be. So let it be. Sleep, sleep tonight And may your dreams be realized If the thunder cloud passes rain So let it rain, let it rain Rain down on he. |
