Shadows And Tall Trees

U2 · Boy [1980]

Back to the cold restless streets at night

I talk to myself about tomorrow night

Walls of white protest

A gravestone in name

Who is it now

It's always the same



Who is it now

Who calls me inside

Are the leaves on the trees

Just living disguise

I walk sweet rain tragicomedy

I'll walk home again

to the street melody



But I know, oh no

But I know, oh no

But I know...



Shadows and tall trees

Shadows and tall trees

Shadows and tall trees

Shadows and tall trees



Life through a window

Discoloured pain

Mrs. Brown's washing is always the same

I walk street rain tragicomedy

I'll walk home again

to the street melody



But I know, oh no

But I know, oh no

But I know...



(Out there)



Do you feel in me...

Anything redeeming

Any worthwhile feeling

Is love like a tightrope

Hanging from the ceiling



But I know, oh no

But I know, oh no

But I know...



Shadows and Tall Trees...
