Bono - Heartland lyrics

rate me

See the sunrise over her skin<br />

Don't change it.<br />

See the sunrise over her skin<br />

Dawn changes everything, everything.<br />

And the delta sun<br />

Burns bright and violent.<br />

<br />

Mississippi and the cotton wool heat<br />

Sixty-six - a highway speaks<br />

Of deserts dry<br />

Of cool green valleys<br />

Gold and silver veins<br />

All the shining cities<br />

In this heartland<br />

In this heartland<br />

In this heartland.<br />

Heaven knows<br />

This is a heartland.<br />

Heartland, our heartland.<br />

<br />

See the sunrise over her skin<br />

She feels like water in my hand<br />

Freeway, like a river<br />

Cuts through this land<br />

Into the side of love<br />

Like a burning spear<br />

And the poison rain<br />

Like dirty tears<br />

Through the ghostranch hills<br />

Death Valley waters<br />

In the towers of steel<br />

Belief goes on and on<br />

In this heartland<br />

In this heartland<br />

In this heartland<br />

Heaven knows<br />

This is a heartland.
