Joshua Tree Through Gail's Lens - Words by U2

Desert sky

Dream beneath the desert sky

The rivers run, but soon run dry

We need new dreams tonight

Desert rose

Dreamt 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 God's country

Sad eyes, crooked crosses in God's country

Set me alight

We'll punch a hole right through the night

Everyday the dreamers die

To 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

Sleep comes like a drug in God's country

Sad eyes, crooked crosses in God's country

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

Lyrics from "In God's Country" by U2 from the Joshua Tree album

Beautiful!! How did that rose get in the middle of the path? Have people just been working around it?
