U2 - Heartland - (with Brian Eno) lyrics

rate me

See the sunrise over her skin

Don't change it

See the sunrise on her skin

Dawn changes everything

And the delta sun burns bright and violent

Mississippi and the cotton wool heat

Sixty-six the highway speaks

Of deserts dry, of cool green valleys

Gold and silver veins - shining cities

In this heartland

In this heartland

In this heartland

Heaven knows this is a heartland

She feels like water in my hand

Freeway like a river cuts through this land

Into the side of love like a burning spear

And the poison rain brings a flood of fear

Through the ghostranch hills, Death Valley waters

In the towers of steel belief goes on and on

In this heartland

In this heartland

In this heartland

Heaven knows this is a heartland
