White As Snow Lyrics
U2
Where I came from there were no hills at all
The land was flat, the highway straight and wide
My brother and I would drive for hours
Like we'd years instead of days
Our faces as pale as the dirty snow
Once I knew there was a love divine
Then came a time I thought it
Knew me not
Who can forgive forgiveness when forgiveness is not
Only the land as white as snow
And the water, it was icy
As it washed over me
And the moon shined above me
Now this dry ground it bears no fruit at all
Only under a crescent moon
The road refuses strangers
The land, the seeds we sow
Where might we find the land as white as snow
As boys we would go hunting in the woods
To sleep the night shooting out the stars
Now the voes of every passing stranger
Every face we cannot know
For only a heart could be as white as snow
For only a heart could be as white as snow
The land was flat, the highway straight and wide
My brother and I would drive for hours
Like we'd years instead of days
Our faces as pale as the dirty snow
Once I knew there was a love divine
Then came a time I thought it
Knew me not
Who can forgive forgiveness when forgiveness is not
Only the land as white as snow
And the water, it was icy
As it washed over me
And the moon shined above me
Now this dry ground it bears no fruit at all
Only under a crescent moon
The road refuses strangers
The land, the seeds we sow
Where might we find the land as white as snow
As boys we would go hunting in the woods
To sleep the night shooting out the stars
Now the voes of every passing stranger
Every face we cannot know
For only a heart could be as white as snow
For only a heart could be as white as snow
