Stay (Faraway, So Close!)

Stay(Faraway, So Close!) - Craig Armstrong/Bono

Green light

Seven Eleven

You stop in

For a pack of cigarettes

You don't smoke

Don't even want to

Hey now

See check your change

Dressed up

Like a car crash

Your wheels are turning

But you're upside down

You say when he hits you

You don't mind

Because when he hurts you

You feel alive

Hey babe

Is that what it is

Red lights

Gray morning

You stumble

Out of a hole in the ground

A vampire

Or a victim

It depends on

Who's around

You used to stay in

To watch the adverts

You could lip sync

We the talk shows

And if you look

You look through me

And if you talk

Is not to me

And when I touch you

You don't feel fay

If I could and

Stay then the night would

Give you up

Stay and the day would

Keep it's trust

Stay and the night would

Be enough

Faraway

So close

Up with the static

And the radio waves

With satellite

Television

You can go anywhere

Miami

New Orleans

London Belfast

And Berlin

And if you listen

I can't call

And if you jump

You just might fall

And if you shout

I'll only hear you

If I could

Stay then the night would

Give you up

Stay then the day would

Keep it's trust

If I could

Stay with the demons you drowned

Stay with the spirit with

I found

Stay

And the night would

Be enough

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Three o'clock

In the morning

It's quiet

And there's no one around

Just the bang

And the clatter

As an angel

Runs to ground

Just the bang

And the clatter

As an angel

Hits the ground
