North And South Of The River
U2
North And South Of The River (Original Version)
I want to reach out over the Loch
And feel your hand across the water
Walking with you along an unapproved road
Not looking over my shoulder
I want to see, and I want to hear
To understand your fears
But we're north and south of the river
I've been doing it wrong all of my life
This holy town has turned me over
A young man running from what he didn't understand
As the wind from the Loch just blew colder and colder
There was a madness that had its way
But love wasn't lost, it just got misled
North and south of the river
North and south of the river
Can we stop playing these old tattoos
Darling I don't have the answer
I want to meet you where you are
I don't need you to surrender
'Cause there's no feeling that's so alone
As when the one you're hurting is your own
North and south of the river
North and south of the river
Some high ground is not worth taking
Some connections are not worth making
There's an old church bell no longer ringing
And some old songs are not worth bringing
North and south of the river
North and south of the river
