Cedarwood Road (from Acoustic Sessions) Songtext
von U2

I was running down the road
The fear was all I knew
I was looking for a soul that′s real
Then I ran into you
And that cherry blossom tree
It was a gateway to the sun
And friendship, once it's won
It′s won, it's won

Northside
Just across the river to the Southside
That's a long way here
All the green and all of the gold
The hurt you hide and the joy you hold
The foolish pride then gets you out the door
Up on Cedarwood
Cedarwood Road


Sleepwalking down the road
Not waking from these dreams
′Cause it′s never dead it's still my head
It was a warzone in my teens
I′m still standing on that street
I still need an enemy
The worst ones I can't see
But you can
You can

Northside
Just across the river from Southside
That′s a long way here
All the green and all of the gold
The hurt you hide and the joy you hold
The foolish pride that sends you back for more
Still up on Cedarwood
Cedarwood Road

If the door is open it is not theft
You can't return to where you′ve never left
Blossoms falling from a tree they cover you and cover me
Symbols crashing, Bibles smashing
You paint the world you need to see
And sometimes fear is the only place that we can call our home
Cedarwood Road


And a heart
That is broken
Is a heart
That is open
And a heart
That is broken
Is a heart
That is open
