North Star
U2 · Other Songs - U2
to be where you are
Where I wanna be beside you
Looking for direction,
starved to your affection
The space beteewn you and me...
ahh...ahh
I can't wait any longer for your love
I can't wait, I can't wait
I can't wait any longer for it
I can't wait any longer for your love...
...ooh...ooh
The birds still signing for them
and they fly above the government
It's not a song of discontent
I thought about this leave we spent
Here I am, a space cowboy
Looking out for love and logic
in the universe....yeah....yeah
I can't wait any longer for your love
I can't wait, I can't wait
I can't wait any longer for it
I can't wait any longer for your love
....ooh....ooh
And a day as it ends
and you watch as the sun goes down
Pray that the night will come quickly
Your hope, your prayer
that the clouds leave the sky alone
There's only one light that can guide you,
guide you....home....home
I can't wait any longer
I can't wait any longer for your love
I can't wait any longer for your love
I can't wait, I can't wait
I can't wait any longer
for your love, for love
It's like the silence and shock
of the lights up there shining
You want it, you got it
You take it like a lover inside
