Alaska

by U2

Remember I painted pictures of you
And I never found my way out
I spent a lifetime of dreams in the fields of your eyes
Lay me down when the rain covers you
And I'm afraid of the emptiness holding my thoughts
I see blue I see grey all the while
And when the night comes again I'll hold my hands to the skies
I've got a dream of home I've got a dream of home
And when the winter comes calling turn my face to the wind
I've got a dream of home I've got a dream
Of Alaska
Your name is whispered with the breath of my soul
In a hope that I'll never let fade
Between the mist on the waves and the blue of the sky
I threw a rose to the sea in your name
Now listen
Somewhere tonight there are tears on the wind
Are they yours are they mine I don't know
I'm crying out to the sky
I hope you're with me tonight
I've got a dream of home I've got a dream of home
And now the earth is left wanting
Turn my face to the wind
I've got a dream of home I've got a dream
Of Alaska
All through my life I stood tall as the sky
Hold to the things that I knew were so real
All I could feel
Strange how it goes how it comes to an end
Lord take your hand
Take you home once again

The road is dry
I’m fucking delirious right now
life goes on
glorious evening of nodding and jump starts
I need to make a personal dance party
The brain works very weird at this hour
not the best time for lyrics I suppose
keep writing, keep dreaming
keep writing, keep dreaming
keep writing, keep dreaming
Nope, can't be awake and dream, drift in and out, in and out
eye motions
in out
heat lightning, scares us both
the only two people awake at this fucking hour
I won't remember this in the morning
at least I wrote it all down
please pick the right song
the one that keeps the eyes wide
creepy!
creepy!
creepy!
yes, creepy
the idea of control
controlling death with alertness
when is the fucking sun coming up
the idea of control
yes, creepy
controlling death with alertness
controlling death with alertness
Then it all changes, same scenery but sun involved
shouldn't be much different
ALASKA!!
ALASKA!!
Then it all changes, same scenery but sun involved
shouldn't be much different
ALASKA!!
ALASKA!!
the only two people awake at this fucking hour
I won't remember this in the morning
at least I wrote it all down
wrote it all down
