"Hawkmoon 269" Lyrics U2

Apparently Hawkmoon has the 269 attached to it as an exaggeration of the number of takes U2 needed to to before they were happy with the song.

Bono said the song was titled in part as a tribute to writer Sam Shepard, who had released a book entitled Hawk Moon.

Hawkmoon 269 Lyrics:

Like a desert needs rain
Like a town needs a name
I need your love

Like a drifter needs a room
Hawkmoon
I need your love
I need your love

Like a rhythm unbroken
Like drums in the night
Like sweet soul music
Like sunlight
I need your love
I need your love

Like coming home and you don't know where you've been
Like black coffee
Like nicotine
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love

When the night has no end and the day yet to begin
As the room spins around I need your love
I need your love

Like a Phoenix rising needs a holy tree
Like the sweet revenge of a bitter enemy
I need your love
I need your love

Like the heat needs the sun
Like honey on her tongue
Like the muzzle of a gun
Like oxygen
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love

When the night has no end and the day yet to begin
As the room spins around I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love

Like thunder needs rain
Like the preacher needs pain
Like tongues of flame
Like a sweet stain
Like a needle needs a vein
Like someone to blame
Like a thought unchained
Like a runaway train
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love

Like faith needs a doubt
Heat of love in the heart of it
Like a freeway out
Heat of love in the heart of it
I need your love
Heat of love in the heart of it
Like powder needs a spark
Heat of love in the heart of it
Like lies need the dark
Heat of love in the heart of it
I need your love
Heat of love in the heart of it
Heat of love in the heart of it
Heat of love in the heart of it
Heat of love in the heart of it
Heat of love in the heart of it
Heat of love in the heart of it
Heat of love in the heart of it
Heat of love in the heart of it
Heat of love in the heart of it
Heat of love in the heart of it
Heat of love in the heart of it
Heat of love in the heart of it
Heat of love in the heart of it
Heat of love in the heart of it
Heat of love in the heart of it
Heat of love in the heart of it
Heat of love in the heart of it
Heat of love in the heart of it
Heat of love in the heart of it
Heat of love in the heart of it
Heat of love
