U2 – Cedars Of Lebanon
Yesterday I spent asleep
Woke up in my clothes in a dirty heap
Spent the night trying to make a deadline
Squeezing complicated lives into a simple headline
I have your face here in an old Polaroid
Tidying the children?s clothes and toys
You´re smiling back at me, I took the photo from the fridge
Can´t remember what then we did
I haven´t been with a women, it feels like for years
Thought of you the whole time, your salty tears
This shitty world sometimes produces a rose
The scent of it lingers and then it just goes
Return the call to home
The worst of us are a long drawn out confession
The best of us are geniuses of compression
You say you´re not going to leave the truth alone
I´m here «˜cos I don´t want to go home
Child drinking dirty water from the river bank
Soldier brings oranges he got out from a tank
I´m waiting on the waiter, he´s taking a while to come
Watching the sun go down on Lebanon
Return the call to home
Now I´ve got a head like a lit cigarette
Unholy clouds reflecting in a minorette
You´re so high above me, higher than everyone
Where are you in the Cedars of Lebanon ?
Choose your enemies carefully because they will define you
Make them interesting because in some ways they will mind you
They´re not there in the beginning but when your story ends
Gonna last with you longer than your friends
