North And South Of The River

Lyrics：Christy Moore/Bono/The Edge Music：U2
I wanna reach over the lough and feel your hand across the water
Walk with you along an unapproved road not looking over my shoulder
I wanna see and I wanna 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 from what he didn't understand
But the wind from the lough just gets colder and 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 these old tattoos
Darling, I don't have the answer
I wanna 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
There's an 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
