Lyrics

Staring At The Sun-U2

Summer stretching on the grass, summer dresses pass
In the shade of a willow tree, creeps a crawling over me
Over me and over you, stuck together with God's glue
It's going to get stickier too, it's been a long hot summer
Let's get under cover, don't try too hard to think
Don't think at all

I'm not the only one staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find if you took a look inside
I'm not just deaf and dumb, staring at the sun
Not the only one who's happy to go blind

There's an insect in your ear, if you scratch it won't disappear
It's going to itch and burn and sting, you want to see what the scratching brings
Waves that leave me out of reach, breaking on your back like a beach
Will we ever live in peace, 'cause those that can't do
Often have to and those that can't do
Often have to preach

To the ones staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'll find if you took a look inside
Not just deaf and dumb, staring at the sun
I'm not the only one who'd rather go blind

Intransigence is all around, military still in town
Armour plated suits and ties, daddy just won't say goodbye
Referee won't blow the whistle, God is good but will He listen
I'm nearly great but there's something missing
I left it in the duty free, but you never really belonged to me

You're not the only one staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find if you stepped back inside
I'm not sucking on my thumb, I'm staring at the sun
Not the only one who's happy to go blind
