U2 - Cedarwood Road lyrics

I was running down the road The fear was all I knew I was looking for a soul that’s real Then I ran into you And that cherry blossom tree Was a gateway to the sun And friendship once it’s won It’s won… it’s won Northside just across the river to the Southside That’s a long way here All the green and all the gold The hurt you hide, the joy you hold The foolish pride that gets you out the door Up on Cedarwood, Cedarwood Road Sleepwalking down the road Not waking from these dreams ‘Cause it’s never dead it’s still in my head It was a warzone in my teens I’m still standing on that street Still need an enemy The worst ones I can’t see You can… you can Northside just across the river from the Southside That’s a long way here All the green and all the gold The hurt you hide and the joy you hold The foolish pride that sends you back for more Up on Cedarwood, Cedarwood Road If the door is open it isn’t theft You can’t return to where you’ve never left Blossoms falling from a tree They cover you and cover me Symbols clashing, bibles smashing Paint the world you need to see Sometimes fear's the only place we can call our home Cedarwood Road And heart that is broken Is a heart that is open, open, open
