Song For Hal

by U2
Lyrics: Bono/The Edge Music: Bono/The Edge/Adam Clayton/Larry Mullen Jr. Did you hear "forever"? Was it playing soft and low? It's not a song you wanna hear If you're not ready to go You're not alone in the bright blue air Not alone if there's no one there at all
You're not alone if your voice is unheard Not alone the song of the mockingbird don't last long They appear and then they're gone I swear where music is made You'll be there
And as the morning light Stretches out across the floor Can't believe it's another day And life goes on like it did before
You're not alone when you're on your knees Not alone if no one sees you fall You never took a curtain call
And you are not alone when you close your eyes And slip into a dream that takes you to the other side Of the songs in your head Dizzy as a musical Stupid songs you can't forget Beyond pretty, beyond beautiful Wherever the strange is on parade Wherever the music is made You'll be there
Did you know he is close to God Who makes his old friends laugh? Did you know Hal the magician? I watched him disappear from a photograph
