U2 (For Wim Wenders)
Haven't seen you in quite a while.
I was down the hold, just passing time.
Last time we met was a low-lit room.
We were as close together as bride and groom
We ate the food, we drank the wine.
Everybody having a good time...Except you.
You were talking about the end of the world.
I took the money, I spiked your drink.
You miss too much these days if you stop to think.
You led me on with those innocent eyes.
And you know I love the element of surprise.
In the garden I was playing the tart.
I kissed your lips and broke your heart.
You, you were acting like it was the end of the world.
In my dream I was drowning my sorrows.
But my sorrows they learned to swim.
Surrounding me, going down on me.
Spilling over the brim.
In waves of regret, waves of joy.
I reached out for the one I tried to destroy.
You, you said you'd wait until the end of the world.

Summer Kisses, Winter Tears
Lyrics & Music:Wise/Weisman/Lloyd
Summer kisses, Winter tears
That was what she gave to me
Never thought that I'd travel all alone
The trail of memories
Happy hours, lonely years
But I guess I can't complain
For I still recall the Summer sun
Through all the Winter rain
The fire of love, the fire of love
Can burn from afar
And nothing can light the dark of the night
Like a falling star
Summer kisses, Winter tears
Like the stars they fade away
Leaving me to spend my lonely nights
With dreams of yesterday
The fire of love, the fire of love
Can burn from afar
And nothing can light the dark of the night
Like a falling star
Summer kisses, Winter tears
Like the stars they fade away
Leaving me to spend my lonely nights
With dreams of yesterday
Leaving me to spend my lonely nights
With dreams of yesterday
Summer kisses, Winter tears
