U2, "Twilight"
(1980)

I look into his eyes
They're closed but I see something
A teacher told me why
I laugh when old men cry
My body grows and grows
It frightens me you know
The old man tried to walk me home
I thought he should have known

Twilight
Twilight, lost my way
Twilight, can't find my way

In the shadow boy meets man
In the shadow boy meets man

I'm running in the rain
I'm caught in a late night play
It's all, it's everything
I'm soaking through the skin

Twilight, darkened day
Twilight, lost my way
Twilight
Twilight, can't find my way

Can't find your way
Can't find my way
Can't find your way

Twilight, darkened day
Twilight, lost my way
Twilight, night and day
Twilight, can't find my way

In the shadow boy meets man
In the shadow boy meets man


Bono: "In 'Twilight,' a boy was being confronted by a man who was a homosexual, and I was trying to explain in the song that it wasn't how it was written in the book." ... Okay, Bono.

(Mad thanks to Threesunrises.net for having a bunch of U2 song-related quotes. Makes my job much easier.)
