LOVE RESCUE ME
by Bono and Bob Dylan
Love rescue me
Come forth and speak to me
Raise me up
And don't let me fall.
No man is my enemy
My own hands imprison me. Love rescue me.
Many strangers have I met On the road to my regret
Many lost who seek to find themselves in me. They ask me to reveal The very thoughts they would conceal. Love, rescue me.
And the sun in the sky
Makes a shadow of you and I
Stretching out as the sun sinks in the sea.
I'm here without a name In the palace of my shame I said, love, rescue me.
In the cold mirror of a glass
I see my reflection pass
I see the dark shades of what I used to be. I see the purple of her eyes
The scarlet of my lies. Love, rescue me.
Yeah, though I walk In the valley of the shadow
Yet, I will fear no evil. I have cursed thy rod and staff
They no longer comfort me. Love, rescue me.
I've conquered my past
The future is here at last I stand at the entrance to a new world I can see. The ruins to the right of me
Will soon have lost sight of me. Love, rescue me.
