U2 Lyrics

Album: All That You Can't Leave Behind

Beautiful Day Lyrics

The heart is a bloom

 Shoots up through the stony ground

 There's no room

 No space to rent in this town

 

 You're out of luck

 And the reason that you had to care

 The traffic is stuck

 And you're not moving anywhere

 

 You thought you'd found a friend

 To take you out of this place

 Someone you could lend a hand

 In return for grace

 

 It's a beautiful day

 Sky falls, you feel like

 It's a beautiful day

 Don't let it get away

 

 You're on the road

 But you've got no destination

 You're in the mud

 In the maze of her imagination

 

 You love this town

 Even if that doesn't ring true

 You've been all over

 And it's been all over you

 

 It's a beautiful day

 Don't let it get away

 It's a beautiful day

 

 Touch me

 Take me to that other place

 Teach me

 I know I'm not a hopeless case

 

 See the world in green and blue

 See China right in front of you

 See the canyons broken by cloud

 See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out

 See the Bedouin fires at night

 See the oil fields at first light

 And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth

 After the flood all the colors came out

 

 It was a beautiful day

 Don't let it get away

 Beautiful day

 

 Touch me

 Take me to that other place

 Reach me

 I know I'm not a hopeless case

 

 What you don't have you don't need it now

 What you don't know you can feel it somehow

 What you don't have you don't need it now

 Don't need it now

 Was a beautiful day
