Iris Lyrics - U2

The star, 

that gives us light 

Has been gone a while 

But it's not an illusion 

The ache 

In my heart 

Is so much a part of who I am 

Something in your eyes 

Took a thousand years to get here 

Something in your eyes 

Took a thousand years, a thousand years 

Hold me close, hold me close and don't let me go. 

Hold me close like I'm someone that you might know 

Hold me close the darkness just lets us see 

Who we are 

I've got your life inside of me

Iris... Iris... 

Once we are born, we begin to forget 

The very reason we came 

But you 

I'm sure I've met 

Long before the night the stars went out 

We're meeting up again 

Hold me close, hold me close and don't let me go. 

Hold me close like I'm someone that you might know 

Hold me close, the darkness just lets us see 

Who we are 

I've got your life inside of me 

Iris... Iris... 

The stars are bright but do they know 

The universe is beautiful but cold 

Photos 

You took me by the hand 

I thought that I was leading you 

But it was you made me your man 

Machine 

I dream 

Where you are 

Iris standing in the hall 

She tells me I can do it all 

Iris wakes to my nightmares 

Don't fear the world it isn't there 

Iris playing on the strand 

She buries the boy beneath the sand, 

Iris says that I will be the death of her 

It was not me 

Iris... Iris... 

She said:"Free yourself, to be yourself if only you could see yourself" 

Free yourself, to be yourself if only you could see...
