Take My Hand - Joshua Tree Version

A painted heart on a sidewalk

A bleeding sun on a silver screen

I feel my ego when I talk

Lost myself in the in-between

Lustful eyes filled with love now

Sending in every cavalry

A few more souls on the bus now

Shut my eyes right at seventeen

Always hits me

I'm always shifting

Take my hand, now and forever

Where I stand, how can you live and let die?

Young man, look in the mirror

Take my hand and don't you ever let go (take my hand, now and forever)

(Take my hand, now and forever)

Don't you ever let go (take my hand, now and forever)

(Take my hand, now and forever)

Told myself maybe someday

I'd fall down from the centerpiece

I treat my mind like an ashtray

I owe you an apology

Breaking plans on a Sunday

With myself, maybe make some peace

I forgot every birthday

Open eyes right at twenty-three

Always hits me, yeah

I'm always shifting

Take my hand, now and forever

Where I stand, how can you live and let die?

Young man, look in the mirror

Take my hand, and don't you ever let go (take my hand, now and forever)

(Take my hand, now and forever)

Don't you ever let go (take my hand, now and forever)

(Take my hand, now and forever)

Pick apart all of the pieces

While I'm running out of time

Iron out all of the creases

And just hang it out to dry

Shallow hearts for shallow minds

That ache to be alive

You fall apart and redefine

What keeps you up at night

Oh, take my hand, now and forever

Where I stand, just as you're losing yourself again

Look in the mirror

Take my hand, now and forever

Where I stand, how can you live and let die?

Young man, look in the mirror

Take my hand, and don't you ever let go (take my hand, now and forever)

(Take my hand, now and forever)

Don't you ever let go (take my hand, now and forever)

(Take my hand, now and forever)

(Take my hand, now and forever)

(Take my hand, now and forever)

How can you live and let die?

Young man, look in the mirror

Take my hand, and don't you ever let go

(Take my hand, now and forever)

(Take my hand, now and forever)

(Take my hand, now and forever)

(Take my hand, now and forever)

A painted heart on a sidewalk

A bleeding sun on a silver screen

I feel my ego when I talk

Lost myself in the in-between

Lustful eyes filled with love now

Sending in every cavalry

A few more souls on the bus now
