One Tree Hill lyrics - The Coronas

(originally by U2)

We turn away to face the cold, enduring chill

As the day begs the night for mercy, love

A 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

You run like a river on to the sea

You run like a river runs 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

It runs like a river runs to the sea

It runs 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

We run like a river runs to the sea

We run like a river to the sea

And when it's rainin', rainin' hard

That's when the rain will break a heart

Rainin', rainin' in your heart

Rainin' in your heart

Rainin', rain into your heart

Rainin', rainin', rainin'

Rain into your heart

Rainin', ooh, rain in your heart, yeah

Feel it

Oh great ocean

Oh great sea

Run to the ocean

Run to the sea
