Desert rose

I'm hanging out to dry

with my old clothes

Finger still red with the prick of an old rose

Well the heart that hurts

Is a heart that beats

Can you hear the drummer slowing?

One Step Closer Lyrics by U2

And in the world a heart of darkness, a fire zone 

Where poets speak their heart, then bleed for it 

Jara sang - his song a weapon in the hands of one 

Whose blood still cries from the ground 

It runs like a river runs to the sea 

It runs like a river to the sea

I don't believe in painted roses or bleeding hearts

One Tree Hill lyrics by U2

Desert sky 

Dream beneath the desert sky 

The rivers run, but soon run dry 

We need new dreams tonight

Desert rose 

Dreamed I saw a desert rose 

Dress torn in ribbons and in bows 

Like a siren she calls to me

In God's Country by U2

In a field by a river

my love and I did lie

And on my naked shoulder

she too proud to cry

She said that I must leave her

an icy tear she froze

How could I melt the heart

Of a Wild Irish Rose

Wild Irish Rose lyrics by U2

I haven’t been with a woman, it feels like for years

Thought of you the whole time, your salty tears

This shitty world sometimes produces a rose

The scent of it lingers and then it just goes

Cedars Of Lebanon Lyrics by U2
