Bono - Exit lyrics

rate me

You know he got the cure<br />

But then he went astray<br />

He used to stay awake<br />

To drive the dreams he had away.<br />

He wanted to believe<br />

In the hands of love.<br />

<br />

His head it felt heavy<br />

As he came across the land<br />

A dog started cryin'<br />

Like a broken-hearted man<br />

At the howling wind<br />

At the howling wind.<br />

<br />

He went deeper into black<br />

Deeper into white.<br />

He could see the stars shine<br />

Like nails in the night.<br />

<br />

He felt the healing<br />

Healing, healing, healing hands of love<br />

Like the stars shiny, shiny from above.<br />

<br />

A hand in the pocket<br />

Fingering the steel<br />

The pistol weighed heavy<br />

And his heart he could feel was beating<br />

Beating, beating, beating,<br />

Oh my love, oh my love<br />

Oh my love, oh my love.<br />

So hands that build<br />

Can also pull down<br />

The hands of love.
