Twilight

by: U2

I look into his eyes
They're closed but I see something
A teacher told me why
I laugh when old men cry
My body grows and grows
It frightens me you know
The old man tried to walk me home
I thought he should have known
Twilight...
Twilight, lost my way
Twilight, can't find my way
In the shadow boy meets man
In the shadow boy meets man
In the shadow boy meets man
In the shadow boy meets man
I'm running in the rain
I'm caught in a late night play
It's all; it's everything
I'm soaking through the skin
Twilight...darkened day
Twilight...lost my way
Twilight...night and day
Twilight...can't find my way
Can't find your way
Can't find my way
Can't find your way
Twilight...darkened day
Twilight...lost my way
Twilight...night and day
Twilight...can't find my way
In the shadow boy meets man
In the shadow boy meets man
In the shadow boy meets man
