- bono (u2 - from the album "the unforgettable fire")



If you twist and turn away

If you tear yourself in two again

If i could, you know i would

If i could, i would

Let it go

Surrender

Dislocate



If i could throw this

Lifeless lifeline to the wind

I'd leave this heart of clay

See you walk, walk away

Into the night

And through the rain

Into the half-light

And through the flame



If i could through myself

Set your spirit free

I'd lead your heart away

See you break, break away

Into the light

And to the day



To let it go

And so to fade away

To let it go

And so fade away



I'm wide awake

I'm wide awake

Wide awake

I'm not sleeping

Oh, no, no, no



If you should ask then maybe they'd

Tell you what i would say

True colors fly in blue and black

Bruised silken sky and burning flag

Colors crash, collide in blood shot eyes



If i could, you know i would

If i could, i would

Let it go...



This desperation

Dislocation

Separation

Condemnation

Revelation

In temptation

Isolation

Desolation

Let it go



And so fade away

To let it go

And so fade away

To let it go

And so to fade away



I'm wide awake

I'm wide awake

I'm wide awake

I'm not sleeping

Oh, no, no, no
