Written by Billy Duffy, Bob Rock, Ian Astbury
A finger on your mouth Contemplate everything alive All that breathes, that runs You feel it all
Older than the dawn Once it seemed like fun In this city of gold Bleeding and fading away
You've got everything to lose Turn these bruises into wine Blooms eventually decay Reaching ecstasy through god's strained heart Your innocent life, your immaculate heart
Walked with pilgrims in the snows Dressed like wolves in these exotic lands You showed me how to live Another way
Older than the dawn Once it seemed like fun In this city of gold Bleeding and fading away
You've got everything to lose Turn these bruises into wine Blooms eventually decay Reaching ecstasy through god's strained heart Your innocent life, your immaculate heart
You've got everything to lose Turn these bruises into wine Blooms eventually decay Reaching ecstasy through god's strained heart Your innocent life, your immaculate heart
You've got everything to lose Turn these bruises into wine Blooms eventually decay Reaching ecstasy through god's strained heart Your innocent life, your immaculate heart
Older than the dawn You've got it all to lose In this city of gold Bleeding and fading Bleeding and fading away
