sweet the sin, bitter the taste in my mouth....

never since seeing u2 a few weeks ago, this song, 'Running to Stand Still,' has been stuck in my head. i had forgotten how much i love it.

lyrics today, no photo.
----
And so she woke up

Woke up from where she was, lying still
Said i gotta do something about where we’re going
Step on a steam train
Step out of the driving rain
Maybe run from the darkness in the night
Singing ha ah la la la de day
Ah la la la de day
Ah la la de day
Sweet the sin
bitter the taste in my mouth
I see seven towers
But I only see one way out
You got to cry without weeping
Talk without speaking
Scream without raising your voice, you know
I took the poison, from the poison stream,
Then I floated out of here
Singing ha la la la de day
Ah la la la de day
Ah la la de day
She runs through the streets
With her eyes painted red
Under black belly of cloud in the rain
In through a doorway she brings me
White gold and pearls stolen from the sea
She is raging
She is raging and the storm blows up in her eyes
She will suffer the needle chill
She is running to stand.....still

One of Bobble's favorite songs, too, Hennifero, gets stuck in my head all the time. Sometimes it makes me cry, other times, smile. Good lyrical choice!
