U2

Where I came from there were no hills at all
the land was flat, the highways straight and wide
my brother and I would drive for hours
like years instead of days
our faces as pale as the dirty snow

once I knew there was a love divine
then came a time I thought it knew me not
who can forgive forgiveness when forgiveness is not
only the land the white as snow

and the water it was icy
as it washed over me
and the moon shined on me

now this dry ground bears no fruit at all
only part is left under a crescent moon
the road refuses strangers, the land the seeds we sow
where might we find the land as white as snow

as boys we would go hunting in the woods
to sleep
our walls are every passing stranger
every face we cannot know
if only a heart could be as white as snow
if only a heart could be as white as snow
