"Shadows And Tall Trees" Song Lyrics - U2
Back to the cold, restless streets at nightI talk to myself about tomorrow night
Walls of white protest, a gravestone in name
Who is it now
It's always the same
Who is it now who calls me inside
Are the leaves on the trees just living disguise
I walk the sweet rain tragicomedy
I'll walk home again to the street melody
But I know oh no
But I know oh no
But I know
Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall trees
Life through a window, a discolored pain
Mrs. Brown's washing is always the same
I walk the sweet rain tragicomedy
I'll walk home again to the street melody
But I know oh no
But I know oh no
But I know
Out there
Do you feel in me anything redeeming
Any worthwhile feeling
Is life like a tightrope hanging on my ceiling
But I know oh no
But I know oh no
But I know
Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall trees
Shadow, shadow, shadow
My shadow, shadow, shadow
Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall trees
Follow me
My shadow, shadow, shadow
Seeing my shadow, shadow, shadow
Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall
The song became a staple in U2’s live performances during their early tours, where Bono would often share personal stories and reflections about its meaning, deepening the connection with their audience.
