Running To Stand Still

U2 - Running to Stand Still

From The Joshua Tree

And so she woke up

Woke up from where she was lying still

Said I gotta do something about where we're going

Step on a steam train

Step out of the driving rain

Maybe run from the darkness in the night

Singing ha' ah la la la de day

Ah la la la de day

Ah la la de day

Sweet the sin

Bitter' the taste in my mouth

I see seven towers

But I only see one way out

You got to cry without weeping

Talk without speaking

Scream without raising your voice

You know I took the poison from the poison stream

Then I floated out of here

Singing ha la la la de day

Ha la la la de day

Ha la la de day

Oooooh...

She runs through the streets with her eyes painted red

Under a black belly of cloud in the rain

In through a doorway

She brings me white gold and pearls

Stolen from the sea she is raging' she is raging

And the storm blows up in her eyes

She will suffer the needle chill

She's running to stand still

End
