We turn away to face the cold, enduring chill
As the day begs the night for mercy love
The sun so bright, it leaves no shadows 
Only scars carved into stone on the face of earth
The moon is up and over One Tree Hill
We see the sun go down in your eyes

 [bad word] like a river, on like a sea
 [bad word] like a [bad word] to the sea

And in the world, a heart of darkness, a fire zone
Where poets speak their heart, then bleed for it
Jara sang, his song a weapon in the hands of love
You know his blood still cries from the ground

 [bad word] like a [bad word] to the sea
 [bad word] like a river to the sea

I don't believe in painted roses or bleeding hearts
While bullets rape the night of the merciful
I'll see you again when the stars fall from the sky
And the moon has turned red over One Tree Hill

 [bad word] like a [bad word] to the sea
 [bad word] like a river to the sea

And when it's raining, raining hard
That's when the rain will break my heart

Raining, raining in the heart
Raining in your heart
Raining, raining to your
Raining, raining, raining
Raining to your
Raining, oooh, oooh
Raining in your heart
To the sea

Oh, great ocean
Oh, great sea [bad word] to the ocean [bad word] to the sea

"The Joshua Tree" 1987
