North And South Of The River - U2

I want to reach out over the Loch

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 and 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 when he didn't understand

The wind from the Loch just get colder colder

There was a badness that had its way

But love wasn't lost love will have its day

North and south of the river

North and south of the river

Can we stop playing this old tune

Darling I don't have the answer

I want to meet you where you are

I don't need you to surrender

Cause there's no feeling that's so alone

As when the one you're hurting is your own

North and south of the river

North and south of the river

North and south of the river

Some high ground is not worth taking

Some connections are not worth making

This old church bell no longer ringing

Some old songs are not worth bringing

North

Higher ground is not worth taking

North and south of the river
