Where The Streets Have No Name by U2

U2 is one of those bands my older brother Augy, believes in absolutely. And he made me a believer as well. This is a very powerful song. When I bought mycopy of the Joshua Tree album, i played it full blast, positioning myself infront of the speakers and mouthing the words to the song . At least for me, the feeling was like going to a U2 concert full of people all sharing their own memories that were accompanied by such songs.


I want to run
I want to hide
I want to tear down the walls
That hold me inside
I want to reach out
And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name

I want to feel, sunlight on my face
See that dust cloud disappear without a trace
I want to take shelter from the poison rain
Where the streets have no name

Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Were still building
Then burning down love, burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you...
(its all I can do)

The cities a flood
And our love turns to rust
Were beaten and blown by the wind
Trampled into dust
Ill show you a place
High on ta desert plain
Where the streets have no name

Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Still building
Then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
(its all I can do)
