U2 North and South of the River song lyrics

I want to reach out over the lough

And feel your hand across the water

Walk 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 & 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

But the wind from the lough just got colder and colder

There was a badness that had it's way

Love was not lost, love will have it's day

North & south of the river

North & 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

There's no feeling

Thats so alone

As when the one you're hurting is your own

North & south of the river

North & south of the river

North & 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

Some old songs are not worth bringing

North (Some high ground is not worth taking)

North & south of the river
