Bono - Running To Stand Still lyrics

rate me

And so she woke up<br />

Woke up from where she was lyin' still.<br />

Said I gotta do something<br />

About where we're goin'.<br />

<br />

Step on a steam train<br />

Step out of the driving rain, maybe<br />

Run from the darkness in the night.<br />

Singing ah, ah la la la de day<br />

Ah la la la de day.<br />

<br />

Sweet the sin, bitter the taste in my mouth.<br />

I see seven towers, but I only see one way out.<br />

You gotta cry without weeping, talk without speaking<br />

Scream without raising your voice.<br />

You know I took the poison, from the poison stream<br />

Then I floated out of here, singing<br />

Ah la la la de day<br />

Ah la la la de day.<br />

<br />

She walks through the streets<br />

With her eyes painted red<br />

Under black belly of cloud in the rain.<br />

In through a doorway<br />

She brings me white golden pearls<br />

Stolen from the sea.<br />

<br />

She is ragin'<br />

She is ragin'<br />

And the storm blows up in her eyes.<br />

She will suffer the needle chill<br />

She's running to stand still.
