I Will Follow
(Bono wrote this song about his mother)
I will follow!
I was on the outside when you said
You said you needed me
I was looking at myself
I was blind, I could not see
A boy tries hard to be a man
His mother takes him by his hand
If he stops to think he starts to cry
Oh why
If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway
I will follow
If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway
I will follow
I will follow
I was on the inside
When they pulled the four walls down
I was looking through the window
I was lost, I am found
Walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway
I will follow
If you walkaway, walkaway,
I walkaway, walkaway
I will follow
I will follow
Your eyes make a circle
I see you when I go in there
Your eyes...your eyes...your eyes...your eyes
If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway
I will follow
If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway
I will follow
I will follow
I will follow
I will follow
I will follow...follow
Twilight
I look into his eyes
They're closed but I see something
A teacher told me why
I laugh when old men cry
My body grows and grows
It frightens me you know
The old man tried to walk me home
I thought he should have known
Twilight
Twilight, lost my way
Twilight, can't find my way
In the shadow boy meets man
In the shadow boy meets man
In the shadow boy meets man
In the shadow boy meets man
I'm running in the rain
I'm caught in a late night play
It's all, it's everything
I'm soaking through the skin
Twilight, darkened day
Twilight, lost my way
Twilight
Twilight, can't find my way
Can't find your way
Can't find my way
Can't find your way
Twilight, darkened day
Twilight, lost my way
Twilight, night and day
Twilight, can't find my way
In the shadow boy meets man
In the shadow boy meets man
In the shadow boy meets man
In the shadow boy meets man
An Cat Dubh (The Black Cat)
Say goodnight
She waits for me to
Put out the light
Lay there still
She waits to break my will
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Yes, if I know the truth
How 'bout you?
And in the daylight
A blackbird makes a violent sight
And when she is done
She sleeps beside the wild
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Yes, if I know the truth
How 'bout you?
(really vague words)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Yes, if I know the truth
How 'bout you?
Into the heart
Into the heart...of a child
I stay awhile...oh, I can go back
Into the heart...of a child
I can smile
I can go there
Into the heart
Into the heart of a child
I can go back
I can stay awhile
Into the heart
Out of Control
Monday morning
Eighteen years of dawning
I say "how long?"
You say "how long?"
It was one dull morning
Woke the world with falling
I was so sad, so sad
It was so bad, so bad
I was of a feeling it was out of control
I had the opinion it was out of control
Boys and Girls
Go to the school and girls
They make children
Not like this one
I was of a feeling it was out of control
I had the opinion it was out of control
I was of a feeling it was out of control
I had the opinion it was out of control
Out of control...out of control...out of control...out of control...out of control...
I fought fate
There's blood on the garden gate
The man says childhood
It's in his childhood
One day I'll die
The choice will not be mine
Will it be too late
You can't fight it
I was of a feeling it was out of control
I had the opinion it was out of control
Stories for Boys
There's a place I go
And I am far away
There's a TV show
And I can grow
Sometimes the hero takes me
Sometimes I don't let go
Hello, hello
There's a picture book
With colored photographs
There's a comic strip
That makes me laugh
Sometimes the lady takes me
Sometimes I don't let go
Hello, hello
Stories for boys
Stories for boys
Stories for boys
Stories for boys
Stories for boys
There's a place I go
And it's a part of me
There's a radio
And I will crawl
Sometimes the hero takes me
Sometimes I can't let go
Hello, hello
Stories for boys...stories for boys...stories for
boys...
Stories for boys...stories for boys...stories

The Ocean
A picture in grey
Dorian Gray
Just me
By the sea
And I felt like a star
I felt the world could go far
If they listened
To what I said
By the sea
Washes my feet
Washed my feet
Splashes the soul of my shoes
A Day Without Me
Starting a landslide in my ego
Look from the outside
To the world I left behind
I'm dreaming
You're awake
If I were sleeping
What's at stake
A day without me
Whatever the feelings
I keep feeling
What are the feelings
You left behind
Today's a day without me
I started a landslide in my ego
Look from the outside
To the world I left behind
In the world I left behind
Wipe their eyes, and then let go
To the world I left behind
Shed a tear, and then let go
Another Time, Another Place
Bright morning lights
Wipe the sleep from another day's eye
Turn away from the wall
And there's Nothing at all
Being naked and afraid
In the open space of my bed
I'll be with you now
I'll be with you now
I'll be with you now
Real life on a cloud
Real life
Just as I am
I awoke with a tear on my tongue
I awoke with a feeling of never before
In my sleep I discover the one
But she ran with the morning sun
I'll be with you now
I'll be with you now
I'll be with you now
Real life on a cloud
Real life
Another time, another place
Real life
Another child has lost the race
Real life
Another time, another place
Real life
Your time, your price
Real life
Another time, another place
Real life
Another child has lost the race
(vague foreign words, perhaps German)
Real life
Another time, another place
Real life
Your time, your price
The Electric Co.
Boy, stupid boy
Don't sit at the table
Until you're able to
Toy, broken toy
Shout shout
You're inside out
If you don't know...Electric Co.
If you don't know...Electric Co.
Red, running red
Play for real
The toy could feel
A hole in your head
You go in shock
You're spoon-fed
If you don't know...Electric Co.
If you don't know...Electric Co.
One, three, four...
I can't (vague word)
You (vague word) me
(more vague words)
If you don't know...Electric Co.
If you don't know...Electric Co.
If you don't know...Electric Co.
If you don't know...Electric Co.
If you don't know...Electric Co.
If you don't know...Electric Co.
If you don't know...Electric Co.
(more vague words)
Just to hear me
(more vague words)
I've found me way home
Shadows and Tall Trees
Back to the cold restless streets at night
I talk to myself about tomorrow night
Walls of white protest
A gravestone in name
Who is it now
It's always the same
Who is it now
Who calls me inside
Are the leaves on the trees
Just living disguise
I walk sweet rain tragicomedy
I'll walk home again
To the street melody
But I know, oh no
But I know, oh no
But I know
Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall trees
Life through a window
Discoloured pain
Mrs. Brown's washing is always the same
I walk street rain tragicomedy
I'll walk home again
To the street melody
But I know, oh no
But I know, oh no
But I know
...out there...
Do you feel in me
Anything redeeming
Any worthwhile feeling
Is life like a tightrope
Hanging from the ceiling
But I know, oh no
But I know, oh no
But I know
Shadows and Tall Trees
Shadows and Tall Trees
Shadows and Tall Trees
Shadows and Tall Trees
Shadow...shadow...shadow
Shadow...shadow...shadow
Shadows and Tall Trees
Shadows and Tall Trees
Don't be my shadow...shadow...shadow
It's only my shadow...shadow...shadow
Shadows and Tall Trees
Shadows and Tall Trees
