[U2, Harold Budd - Cedars Of Lebanon lyrics]

Yesterday I spent asleep
Woke up in my clothes in a dirty heap
Spent the night trying to make a deadline
Squeezing complicated lives into
A simple headline

I have your face in an old Polaroid
Tidying the children's clothes and toys
You're smiling back at me
I took the photo from the fridge
Can't remember what then we did

I haven't been with a woman
It feels like for years
Thought of you the whole time
Your salty tears
This shitty world sometimes produces a rose
The scent of it lingers
And then it just goes
Return the call to home



The worst of us are
A long drawn-out confession
The best of us are geniuses of compression
You say you're not going to
Leave the truth alone
I'm here 'cause I don't want to go home

Child drinking dirty water from
The river bank
Soldier brings oranges he got out from a tank
I'm waiting on the waiter
He's taking a while to come
Watching the sun go down on Lebanon

Return the call to home

Now I've got a head like a lit cigarette
Unholy clouds reflect in a minaret
You're so high above me, higher than everyone
Where are you in the cedars of Lebanon?

Choose your enemies carefully
'cause they will define you
Make them interesting
'cause in some ways they will mind you
They're not there in the beginning
But when your story ends
Gonna last with you longer than your friends
