In God's Country

From The Joshua Tree

Yeah...
Desert sky
Dream beneath the desert sky
The rivers run but soon run dry
We need new dreams tonight

Desert rose
Dreamed I saw a desert rose
Dress torn in ribbons and in bows
Like a siren she calls to me

Sleep comes like a drug
In Gods Country
Sad eyes, crooked crosses
In Gods Country

Yeah...yeah...

Set me alight
Well punch a hole right through the night
Everyday the dreamers die
See whats on the other side

She is liberty
And she comes to rescue me
Hope, faith, her vanity
The greatest gift is gold

Sleep comes like a drug
In Gods Country
Sad eyes, crooked crosses
In Gods Country

Yeah...

Naked flame
She stands with a naked flame
I stand with the sons of Cain
Burned by the fire of love
Burned by the fire of love
End
