Lyrics of In God's Country by U2
intro
Yeah
verse
Desert sky
Dream beneath a 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
chorus
Sleep comes like a drug
In God′s Country
Sad eyes, crooked crosses
In God's Country
verse
Set me alight
We′ll punch a hole right through the night
Everyday the dreamers die
See what's on the other side
She is liberty
And she comes to rescue me
Hope, faith, her vanity
The greatest gift is gold
chorus
Sleep comes like a drug
In God's Country
Sad eyes crooked crosses
In God′s Country
outro
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
Writer(s): Dave Evans, Adam Clayton, Larry Mullen, Paul David Hewson
